Last year, Kennedy said his request for Secret Service protection had been denied.

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., and Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., said Sunday that they plan to introduce a bipartisan bill that would provide "enhanced Secret Service protection" for President Joe Biden, Trump and RFK Jr.

Multiple committees have launched investigations and Cheatle has accepted an invitation to appear for a public hearing in the House next week.

Cruz’s social media post also called for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ resignation, though this is not the first time that Cruz has called for Mayorkas to step down. He previously made similar calls over Mayorkas' management of the southern border.
