From Fox News: A top Senate Democrat blasted the Biden-Harris administration for “stonewalling” in response to requests for information on the assassination attempts on former President Trump and the potential failures of the U.S. Secret Service.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) within the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was “almost derelict in its duty by resisting our requests for documents, evidence and information that are necessary to investigate.”
The Democrat reiterated his disappointment in the department, and added that he has become “angry” that DHS has not been more “forthcoming.”
The Democrat foreshadowed potential subpoenas being used in the future, telling reporters on Monday, “We may need to require more cooperation from them. And we have the power to do so through the compulsory process. In other words, the subpoena power.”
WATCH:
This comes after Blumenthal spoke last week about the investigation into the first assassination attempt against Trump.
“I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished & appalled by what we will report to them about the failures by the Secret Service in this assassination attempt on the former President,” he said on Sept. 12 – just three days before the second assassination attempt.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., predicted that Americans will be “shocked” and “appalled” when lawmakers release their interim report on the assassination attempt on former President Trump and the security failures of those involved.

Sunday evening, after the would-be assassin was arrested in Florida, Blumenthal wrote in a social media post, “Like other Americans, I’m glad former President Trump is safe, & grateful for law enforcement professionals’ swift & effective action. Political violence is unacceptable—it has no place in America.”
