I was looking for a transcript of the hearing but couldn't find one, but I found these live updates that were pretty good

Including this

Comer and Raskin issue joint letter calling on Cheatle to resign Shortly after the hearing ended, Comer and Raskin sent Cheatle a joint letter calling for her to step down.

Director Cheatle:

On July 13, 2024, the United States Secret Service under your leadership failed to protect former President Donald Trump from an assassination attempt that took the life of Corey Comperatore and seriously injured at least two other people.

Today, you failed to provide answers to basic questions regarding that stunning operational failure and to reassure the American people that the Secret Service has learned its lessons and begun to correct its systemic blunders and failures. In the middle of a presidential election, the Committee and the American people demand serious institutional accountability and transparency that you are not providing. We call on you to resign as Director as a first step to allowing new leadership to swiftly address this crisis and rebuild the trust of a truly concerned Congress and the American people.

Sincerely,

James Comer Chairman Committee on Oversight & Accountability

Jamie Raskin Ranking Member Committee on Oversight & Accountability
