Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle grilled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Monday. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) bluntly said Cheatle “should resign.” “Do you really genuinely in your heart believe that you being in this role is what’s right for America at this moment?” Khanna asked. “Do you really believe that the majority of this country has confidence in you right now?” he questioned. “I believe that the country deserves answers, and I am committed to finding those answers and providing those answers,” Cheatle responded. “I believe, Director Cheatle, that you should resign. I think there are colleagues on both sides of the aisle who believe that, and I hope you’ll consider it,” Khanna said. WATCH: Democrat Rep.

If you have an assassination attempt on a president, a former president, or a candidate, you need to resign,” Khanna said, according to The Hill.  The Hill reports: During their exchange, Khanna pointed to former Secret Service director Stuart Knight, who helmed the agency when former President Reagan also faced an assassination attempt. Knight was not forced out of his role at the time, but he did end up resigning eight months later. Khanna, however, pointed to Knight in suggesting Cheatle step aside. The California Democrat’s call for her resignation comes after Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) was the first in the party to say Cheatle should step aside. “I’m very sorry to reach this conclusion: I have no confidence in the leadership of the United States Secret Service. I hereby call on Kimberly Cheatle to resign,” Boyle said.

Khanna is among several lawmakers who have called on Cheatle to resign. She has so far refused. Cheatle nevertheless admitted the agency "failed" in her opening statement on Monday. "The Secret Service's solemn mission is to protect our nation's leaders. On July 13, we failed," Cheatle said in her opening statement. "As director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security lapse of our agency. We are fully cooperating with ongoing investigations. We must learn what happened, and I will move heaven and earth to ensure that an incident like July 13th does not happen again."

Kamala Harris spoke briefly today at a recognition event for NCAA champions, and she only cackled once. However, it is worth mentioning that she said Joe Biden did more in three years than most do in two terms. His “legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern history,” she claimed.

The man accused of killing two Delphi, Indiana, teenagers back in 2017 has lost his latest bid to remove the trial judge from his case. Attorneys for Richard Allen, 51, had attempted for a second time to get Special Judge Fran Gull removed from Allen’s upcoming trial, citing bias against the defense. Their latest attempt argued that Gull had violated court policies by failing to rule on two defense motions within the 30-day time frame, the Journal & Courier reported. The attorneys argued that due to Gull’s lack of a ruling, the case must be withdrawn from her, and a new special judge must be appointed by the Indiana Supreme Court. Justin Forkner, chief administrative officer of the Indiana Supreme Court, disagreed. “However, Mr. Allen is mistaken, and the matter should not be removed from the trial court,” Forkner ruled on Friday. Forkner argued that Allen’s attorneys should have filed to remove Gull shortly after the 30-day deadline passed, not several months later, though nothing in the cited Indiana Trial Rule 53.1 suggests such a deadline. In March and April, Allen’s attorneys filed motions seeking hearings to allow the defense to present evidence that law enforcement made false statements in its affidavit that resulted in Allen’s arrest in October 2022. The refusal to remove the judge is the latest drama in an already contentious legal case. Allen is charged with the kidnapping and murder of 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German on a hiking trail in 2017. In May, Judge Gull refused to hold Allen’s defense attorneys, Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi, in contempt following allegations from Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland. Gull did, however, call the defense attorneys “incompetent” during her ruling. Gull said that McLeland “proved by a preponderance of the evidence that defense counsel was sloppy, negligent and incompetent in their handling of discovery material.” However, she added that the prosecutor failed to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the attorneys were “willful and intentional” in their actions. But she also agreed with defense attorneys that McLeland failed to show they should be held in contempt because they violated a gag order. McLeland’s evidence of this was a statement the attorneys made before the gag order was put in place. Judge Gull also previously forced Allen’s defense attorneys to withdraw by threatening to harm their reputations in open court. The attorneys withdrew but filed a petition to represent Allen pro bono. Judge Gull then barred them from representing Allen in any capacity. The transcript, first obtained by WTHR, shows that the judge planned to remove the two attorneys before she publicly announced their withdrawal. At the meeting, which included McLeland, the group discussed a leak of documents from Baldwin’s office, but Judge Gull stated that was not the only reason she wanted the attorneys removed from representing Allen. Gull said the attorneys “potentially” violated the Rules of Professional Responsibility. She told Baldwin he was “grossly negligent” for sending a sensitive email to a “Brad” who was not Rozzi, and questioned whether the two attorneys had fully cooperated with a gag order she had filed. She also said she had evidence the attorneys “left materials all over a conference-room table, accessible to anyone.” The defense attorneys have also tried to have Judge Gull removed previously, to no avail. Prior to this trial, the defense attorneys had not been accused of incompetence or contempt.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson will join Elon Musk at Gigafactory Texas Monday for a wide-ranging interview that will stream live exclusively on DailyWire+ and X at 3 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. CT. Their conversation will be Musk’s first major interview following a newsworthy month for the tech mogul, who “fully” endorsed former president Donald Trump shortly after Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Musk followed his endorsement with the announcement that he would donate $45 million a month to the pro-Trump America PAC. He also announced that he will move the headquarters of both SpaceX and X, formerly Twitter, from California to Texas, the site of Monday’s interview with Peterson. Musk came to the decision after California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law barring schools from informing parents when children began identifying as transgender. My conversation with @elonmusk. Live today at 3pm ET. https://t.co/RyaZFmvC8i — Dr Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) July 22, 2024   “This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X, noting that he had informed Newsom “that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children.” Musk also pointed to rising crime in California as a reason for the move, writing on X that he has “had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott cheered the move, saying that SpaceX’s relocation “cements Texas as the leader in space exploration.” The Lone Star State is already home to NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. Last year, Peterson invited Musk to join his lawsuit against the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which threatened to rescind Peterson’s clinical psychology license in response to his social media activity. Musk has emerged as a leading advocate of free speech since purchasing X. Monday marks Musk’s return to DailyWire+. He joined Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro in Krakow for a wide-ranging conversation streamed on the platform in January.
