Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe and Butler Township Police Lt. Matthew Pearson along with Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher L. Paris have been invited to testify by Rep. Mark Green, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
Green said there will be an oversight hearing in the coming days to examine what happened surrounding the attempted assassination of Trump at a rally in Butler County on Saturday.
"As we continue to gather all the facts about the cowardly attempt on President Trump's life on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, the accounts and experiences of state and local law enforcement professionals with direct knowledge of these events will be critical," Green said in a statement .
"Our goal is to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again, and I very much look forward to working with these officials in order to accomplish that critical objective. And as always, the Committee remains deeply grateful for the service of the men and women of state and local law enforcement."
Also on Wednesday, Green requested testimony from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.
