Investigation into the Assassination Attempt of President Trump

Congressman Sessions questions Secret Service Director Cheatle

On Monday, Director Kimberly Cheatle of the U.S. Secret Service appeared before the House Oversight Committee. Despite nearly three decades of experience, she had no answers for what went wrong in Butler, PA on July 13. I urged her to take responsibility, stop playing a shell game and hiding behind the investigations of other agencies. She gave no confidence that she is leadership material, and her resignation is the first step towards responsibility. The House will continue to press in this issue as thousands of witnesses and whistleblowers come forward with information. Wednesday night, the House voted on H. Res. 1367 - Establishing the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump. The task force will investigate and fully examine all actions related to the attempted assassination of President Trump. They will report the final finding to the House by December 13, 2024. You can view my line of questioning to Director Cheatle here.

Committee Hearings

Chairman Sessions opens a hearing with the Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce

On top of the Oversight hearing with Director Cheatle, I participated in two other hearings this week. On Tuesday, my Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce examined the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE). We went over their operations, legislative priorities, coordination between Inspector General offices, and proposals to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. Here is my opening statement. Also on Tuesday, I participated in an Oversight Committee hearing to inspect the role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers, calling for transparency and accountability. You can view my remarks here.

Prime Minister Netanyahu

Congressman Sessions was in attendance to hear Prime Minister Netanyahu address Congress

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress this Wednesday. He shared his vision for a peaceful Middle East, only to be achieved through continued partnership with the United States. I stand with Israel’s right to self-defense and thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for visiting. During the address, protestors took to the streets around the capitol and committed shameful acts. The actions that took place at Union Station were utterly unacceptable. I condemn these abhorrent acts as an assault on America.

Americans for Prosperity

On Thursday, Americans for Prosperity invited me to speak about my bill, H.R. 3129, the Health Care Fairness for All Act. This legislation promotes a personal option for patients and providers to ensure they are in control when it comes to health care coverage. The bill would also reduce health care costs, promote price transparency and competition, and would allow all Americans to save and pay for health care with a tax-advantaged Roth Health Savings Account (HSA).
