We, along with other senators, will press the Secret Service for answers. The American people deserve transparency. Past conspiracy theories have proven true, so we must uncover the truth of this situation.

How can you deny everything you've said and done? You can't even look me in the face. Kenya, just look at all the evidence. You have two of those. Please, I don't think you're going to get any more responses from the commissioner. Is there anything else?

I find it frustrating that you are not providing answers to the American people. Many in Congress feel unsafe with you in charge, making us vulnerable to our adversaries. I believe you should step down, as do my Democrat colleagues. Your 60-day investigation timeline is unacceptable, and I will use my legislative tools to expedite the process.

Congresswoman Pelosi asks, “Are you at all concerned that the new January 6 committee will find you liable for that day? Right here.” The other participant replies, “I can.” Pelosi then asks, “Are you at all concerned about the new January 6 committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you re refuse the National Guard on January 6?” The respondent retorts, “Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?” Pelosi concludes, “The American people wanna know. We still have questions. Thank you.”

The record that they're gonna rely on to make these decisions? Will you make it transparent for the American people? All the evidence is transparent. All evidence is transparent for the first time in history. You can characterize it any way you want. I quoted them today. What I said was accurate. What you said were lies. Are you saying that the mRNA vaccine has never been associated with myocarditis or pericarditis into I am simply trying to say that the people that you have put on that panel after firing the entire You're evading the question. The senator, they deserve the truth and that's what we're gonna give them for the first time in the history of that agency.

The committee expresses frustration over the lack of responsiveness from the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding document requests. They emphasize that other financial regulators have complied with congressional oversight, and the SEC should recognize Congress as a co-equal branch of government. The committee threatens to issue a subpoena if the SEC does not cooperate. The committee questions when a vote will be scheduled to provide the requested non-public documents, but the SEC representative does not provide a clear answer. The committee asks if the representative personally supports providing the information, but the representative avoids giving a direct response. The committee finds the situation ridiculous.

You're being considered for FBI director, yet you didn't check if your associates, including the president, were involved in attacking police officers. Look at the Capitol Police behind you. Are you proud of raising money from those who assaulted them? You claim to support law enforcement, but your actions tell a different story. Did you ever publicly state that Donald Trump declassified all documents at Mar-a-Lago? You mentioned a declassification order, but did you confirm it included all those documents? Shouldn't we consider the potential risks to sources before declaring documents declassified? Did Trump consult agencies about the risks? You say you support transparency; will you back the release of your grand jury testimony and relevant sections of the special counsel's report? Your time is up.

Is it standard for your department to meet with dark money groups secretly? I can't speak to actions taken by the former deputy secretary, who is no longer with us. But you are the secretary of the interior, correct? Yes, I am. Do the people here work for you? They work with me. So you're not in charge? I provide vision and direction. Do you take responsibility for the department? Yes, I do. Then why are your leaders meeting with dark money groups off the books? This is the first I've heard of this. I can't comment on my deputy's actions. What did they gain from canceling leases at their request? I don't know who that individual is. You seem unaware of your department's issues. We have a corruption problem in your department.

It's our constitutional duty to do oversight. "Now in that video, that was your answer to a question to me two years ago. When I said how many agents or assets of the government were present on January 5 and January 6 and agitating in the crowd to go into the capital and how many went into the capital. Can you answer that now?" "I don't know the answer to that question." "Oh, last time, you don't know how many there were or there were none?" "I don't know the answer to either of those questions. If there were any, I don't know how many." "You've had don't know whether there are any." "I think you may have just perjured yourself that you don't know that there were any. You want to say that again? That you don't know that there were any?" "In discovery, in the cases that were filed with respect to January 6, The Justice Department prosecutors provided whatever information they had about the question that you're asking." "With respect to mister Epps, the FBI has said that he was not an employee or informant of of the FBI." "Mister Epps has been charged, and there's a proceeding, I believe, going on today on that subject." "The charge is a joke."

The speaker thanks the chairman and addresses someone named Hunter, suggesting they are afraid of the speaker's words. The speaker reclaims their time. The speaker says that the House committees should provide relevant information to any legitimate inquiry. The speaker claims their first five offers were ignored. Then in November, a subpoena was issued for a behind-closed-doors deposition. The speaker asserts that Republicans have repeatedly misused this tactic in their political crusade to selectively leak and mischaracterize witness statements.

There's no cross-examination allowed in this committee, so important questions remain unaddressed. For instance, why did a Capitol Hill police officer with a history of mishandling firearms shoot an unarmed Air Force veteran in the neck? We're also not allowed to inquire about the thousands of hours of surveillance footage or why police were seen letting people into the Capitol on January 6th. These critical issues are off-limits for questioning.

My message to those who defy congressional subpoenas on the January 6th committee is that I hope the committee takes action and holds them accountable, including possible prosecution.

This is unbelievable. You want to be the archivist of the United States, yet you lied under oath and in your QFRs. Just moments ago, you lied to me again and are now stonewalling, refusing to answer questions about your own public posts. Mister chairman, this is the most extraordinary situation I have encountered in my time in the Senate. I have never witnessed a witness so blatantly lie under oath as Dr. Shogan has done today, consistently avoiding questions from this committee.

Remember when I promised to release the Epstein, JFK, and 9/11 files? It's been a while, and still nothing. I put Anna Paulina and Pam Bondi on it, even created a committee, which seemed unnecessary just to release files. They handed over binders to DC Draino and company, but the information was heavily redacted, supposedly to protect victims' names and due to the FBI's concerns, even though we oversee the FBI. Then national security became the excuse for more redactions, and the whole thing just stalled. Now, we're moving onto releasing the JFK files, while the Epstein files remain hidden. And now Pam Bondi is investigating antisemitism on college campuses. So, I just have one question: Where are those files?

The speaker is part of a senate bipartisan investigation into an assassination attempt. According to the speaker, the Secret Service and FBI are dragging their feet and not providing requested documents, such as 302s and interview transcriptions. Documents that are provided are heavily redacted and delivered the day of the interview, making them unusable. The speaker believes this behavior is suspicious and fuels conspiracy theories. They claim releasing the body for cremation before autopsy or toxicology reports further drives suspicion and conspiracy theories.

We are members of Congress here to meet with the acting secretary. We notified her in advance. You're denying us entry. What authority do you have to prevent members of Congress from fulfilling their oversight role? You claim we need an appointment or to be on a guest list. That's not how it's always been. Ninety-four members of Congress signed a letter requesting a meeting to ask a simple question. Your claim that she's unaware of the meeting is unacceptable. We should be allowed access to the Department of Education. We'll proceed to the visitors' entrance.

I am deeply troubled by your responses today. You need to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. You avoided answering that question when asked by Senator Durbin. Additionally, you should clearly state that those involved in the January 6th insurrection who committed violence should not be pardoned. I don’t have to say what you want me to say. I speak the truth and won’t say anything just to gain confirmation. I will answer questions to the best of my ability.

I thank you for being here, Mr. Mayorkas. Your actions have been watched closely, and it is believed that you have lied. The American public sees this too. You are seen as a threat to freedom and rights, but thankfully the first amendment exists to stop you. Your accusations are untrue.

The speaker questions the Secret Service on transparency and cooperation regarding an attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The Secret Service is criticized for not providing requested information to the committee and being uncooperative. The speaker accuses the Secret Service of dishonesty and evasion. They question the lack of personnel consequences and training improvements after the incident. The Secret Service is pressed for answers on timelines and actions taken during the assassination attempt.

The speaker questions why snipers initially assigned to a second-story window with a clear view of the roof where the shooter stood and tried to kill President Trump were withdrawn before the shooting. The speaker emphasizes that these are basic questions the Secret Service should easily answer, especially given the seventeen days since the attack. The speaker expresses frustration that the response from the Secret Service has repeatedly been "we're looking into it," which they deem insufficient.

Why did the shooter act? Was he alone or connected to others? What motivated him? We sought answers from the DOJ and FBI, but they claim it's an ongoing investigation and can't share information with Congress. This is unacceptable. As a member of the intelligence and armed services committees, I regularly access sensitive information, so it's hard to believe we can't get updates on this investigation. I don't know if they're intentionally withholding information, but stonewalling is common in oversight. Misinformation thrives in the absence of clarity, and our goal is to provide transparency and counter conspiracy theories surrounding these events. So far, I have seen no evidence linking state actors to these assassination attempts.

Can you clarify the presence of federal agents or assets on January 5th and 6th? Specifically, how many were there, did they encourage people to enter the Capitol, and did any actually go inside? I can't comment on an ongoing investigation. Two years ago, you were asked the same question. Can you provide an answer now? I don't know the answer. So you don’t know how many were present or if there were any at all? I have no knowledge of that. You’ve had two years to find out.

I asked colleagues to create a committee with subpoena power to investigate the lack of Secret Service protection for the president. The Secret Service director agreed to brief us, but it hasn't happened yet. I question why the president wasn't given more protection and who is responsible for that decision.

The Secret Service is refusing to cooperate, stonewalling efforts to uncover the facts. They have not testified or provided documents, which raises serious concerns. The director, Ron Rowe, should be removed for his inadequate response that endangered the president's life. This lack of transparency follows two assassination attempts and parallels the FBI's current stonewalling regarding drone incidents in New Jersey and elsewhere. It's time for accountability and a thorough overhaul of these agencies.

I want to reclaim my time, Mr. Chairman. The house committees issued a subpoena for a closed-door deposition after our first five offers were ignored. Republicans misuse this tactic to leak and mischaracterize witness statements.
