I stated that earlier today I've asked okay 60 days so are so are you receiving regular updates you're in charge of the Secret Service this is about your organization what happened nine days ago are you receiving regular updates from the FBI on their investigation yes I am so you know some things are true some things are probably not true we want to talk to you about the things that we're hearing about and find out if they're true have you you've been in contact with the FBI then you're getting updates on a daily basis right yes based on what you said okay so and are you confident that the person in question Mr Crooks was the only person firing that day against the president or the crowd he is he the only one I'm not asking you yet if he acted alone but is he the only one or can you say that with certainty to the American people that is the information I have at this time yes okay did he does it appear he acted alone that's the information we have at this time okay now let's talk about the fact that he was noticed as a person of interest of concern suspicion as you say your Pi team um how do they stay in there's a sea of people how does the pi team get to that individual that's in question in the sea of people how they how's that individual tracked our protective intelligence teams that work at our sites are paired up with a local police counterpart uh and so they work in conjunction together so they just follow them around or let let me ask you this looking at the site you have multiple perimeters right you have the secure perim the inside Perimeter you have multiple secure or multiple perimeters was the AGR so-called building the highest location affecting the site o of the rally was it the highest location I believe the highest location at the site was where our counter snipers were what about the water tower adjacent what about the how high is the water tower I don't have the uh height on the water tower okay um seems like water towers are pretty high at least in the photo it looks like it might be there might be actually be a building right behind the AGR building that is even higher than the building that Crooks fired from you're familiar with cover concealment and defilade right you're familiar with those terms yes so how would your sniper team or your Pi team track the individual and give vectors to Secret Service on the pi team to to get to that individual to question him and how would you cover the defilade the cover and concealment of low areas that you can't see from where your sniper team immediately adjacent to the president were was were cited H how would you do that if you're not up on The High Ground so when our counter sniper teams go out and conduct in advance they have a methodology and provide a grid system uh that our response teams are able to uh Vector in if they see something that is troubling so when Mr Jordan asked about the the assets that were requested let me just ask you about assets requested were were aerial assets requested for this event from either the Secret Service or State Police or anybody else drone manned otherwise aerial assets were they requested I can't speak to what the local police ask if they were request may have conversations with the local police but I can tell you that the assets that were requested from the secret service for the site that day were all granted but were aerial assets requ I'm just I didn't ask if you used them or what you used were they requested OverWatch was requested and is that aerial because OverWatch could mean on the Water Tower or not on the water to can you be specific ma'am I'm running out of daylight here I understand if you're asking me uh about specifics whether or not there was is it not clear what I'm asking you were aerial assets requested by by the president by secret service by anybody were they requested the Secret Service we felt that we had a a good plan in place okay okay fair enough how about K9 assets with bomb sniffing or explosive sniffing capabilities requested didn't say they were present were they requested those requests were fulfilled they were requested and fulfilled M so was the Crook's vehicle inside any of your perimeters no it was not it was not how did did you so okay so it was not within the it was not so what was there a device located on Mr Crook's body to detonate the vehicle that is the information that I have so what would be the point of detonating the vehicle if it was not inside the perimeter I have no idea what Mr Crook's motivation was ma'am the fact that you have't closed with this Mr chairman haven't even visited the site I understand there are other things going on but the culture of your organization the culture that doesn't do you know how tall the president is how tall is the president president Trump how tall is he I don't he's over 6 feet tall I don't have okay so do you assign agents based on their ability to cover physically and carry and carry if necessary the president of the United States when you assign them to this mission is that a parameter that is considered I assign agents to work our protectees that are capable and have been trained by secret I understand they're trained but if you're not tall enough it has nothing to do with we're not mad at you but if somebody's seven feet tall and you're 5 feet tall there's going to be a Delta there that is problematic in protecting the protect and I'm asking is that a consideration when you when these agents not saying you but when they're assigned to the protecte the agents that are assigned to our protees are perfectly capable so the culture is what I'm concerned about because the primary objective here seems to be something other than securing the site securing the the principle and securing the people at the site and that's the concern based on the answers that you've given today so far without a yield Mr chairman chair now recognizes Mr moscowitz from Florida uh thank you Mr chairman thank you
