Members from both parties, including the committee chair and ranking member, called for her to resign. During the hearing she answered questions on events leading up to the rally and directly following. She also addressed concerns about the security perimeter, whether security requests for former President Trump had been granted amid increased international and domestic threats, and the timeline for when the shooter was identified as a suspicious subject and later threat. One day after this hearing, Director Cheatle resigned from her position.
