In a striking development, GOP Representative Michael Cloud (R-TX) has accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of obstructing a House investigation into the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Rep. Cloud contends that DHS's actions are not only obstructive but also politically motivated to protect the Biden administration from scrutiny.
The accusation stems from a July 13 incident in Pennsylvania, where former President Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. Following the incident, the House Committee on Homeland Security, led by Chairman Mark Green (R-TN), immediately sought an official briefing from DHS. However, Rep. Cloud asserts that DHS has been uncooperative and evasive, hindering the committee’s efforts to uncover the truth.
So Mayorkas is working to hide information again…? Criminal is as criminal does, right ass.

Rep. Cloud's allegations are part of a broader critique of the DHS under Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The committee recently released an interim report detailing what it describes as Secretary Mayorkas’ “dereliction of duty,” particularly concerning border security. The report accuses Mayorkas of implementing policies that have exacerbated illegal immigration and weakened national security, directly impacting the American populace.
Chairman Green has been vocal about the need for accountability within the DHS. In light of the assassination attempt, he emphasized the importance of transparency and cooperation from all federal agencies to ensure the safety and security of national leaders. The committee plans to conduct thorough oversight to provide answers to the American public and hold those responsible accountable.
Rep. Cloud just told Breitbart that DHS has stepped in between the oversight committee and the secret service. They are now interfering with the investigation. I wonder why that is? pic.twitter.com/49spS2a7S6

This incident has intensified the already heated debates over the Biden administration's handling of national security and immigration policies. The Homeland Security Committee's investigation into the assassination attempt is expected to scrutinize potential lapses in security protocols and any possible negligence by DHS.
The controversy over DHS’s alleged interference is not an isolated issue. Recently, the committee has demanded the blacklisting of Chinese companies Gotion and CATL, citing their involvement in forced labor and human rights abuses against Uyghurs in China. This demand highlights the committee’s broader concerns about DHS’s enforcement of policies aimed at protecting American interests from foreign adversaries.
Rep. Cloud’s accusations against DHS have garnered significant attention and are likely to fuel further investigations and hearings. The outcome of these investigations could have profound implications for the Biden administration and its handling of national security issues.
The House Homeland Security Committee continues to emphasize its commitment to thorough oversight and accountability. As the investigation unfolds, the committee aims to ensure that all actions taken by DHS and other federal agencies align with the nation’s security interests and the rule of law.
Leave it to the democrats to try and hide any evidence that may put some light on what occurred during the attempt on Donald Trumps life,the democrats did the same thing back in 1963 when JFK was assassinated and we all know how well that farce of an investigation went.If the democrats refuse to cooperate then we need to vote out a bunch of them out of congress in November and have a real investigation instead of a coverup!
