Common Ground: Bipartisan Efforts To Hold the Secret Service Accountable

Following the assassination attempt on former President Trump’s life, Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill immediately got to work investigating the Secret Service’s failures on that nearly fatal Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Leaders of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Congressman James Comer (R-KY) discuss how they’re working across the aisle to instill corrective measures in agencies like the Secret Service and ensure the safety of all presidential candidates in the future.
