House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) is expected to arrive Monday at the site of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, according to a press release from the committee.
Green and 10 other committee members will stop at the Butler, Pennsylvania, venue where Trump held a cross-party rally that was temporarily interrupted by a gunman who pointed at the former president, grazing his right ear, killing one user and wounding two others. .
“This committee continues to seek answers from DHS and the Secret Service about the security lapses that led to the near-assassination of former President Trump and the tragic homicide of Corey Comperatore,” Green said in the statement. “We will go to the site on Monday morning to better understand how this near-murder occurred. “
The committee members’ visit to Butler will come after Green invited Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and FBI Director Christopher Wray to testify Tuesday on Capitol Hill.

Wray declined his invitation to testify. Mayorkas has yet to respond and has since been subpoenaed through the committee. Cheatle won a subpoena, which he agreed to abide by, from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, before which he is scheduled to testify on Monday.
Butler’s is scheduled for Monday at 11:30 a. m. and Green will speak to the media at 12:45 p. m. “to inform the public about the Committee’s oversight investigation into the security violations of that day,” according to the statement.
