Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray in a House Judiciary hearing Wednesday about the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13 at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Gaetz pressed Wray on whether he noticed a cognitive decline in President Joe Biden, who recently exited the 2024 race. Biden's performance in a June debate with Trump supercharged concerns among Democrats about Biden’s mental fitness to serve in the Oval Office.

Wray said his briefings with the president were “completely fine.”

Earlier this week, the House Oversight Committee grilled Kimberly Cheatle, director of the U.S. Secret Service at the time of the deadly shooting. Members on both sides of the aisle called for her resignation and she announced Tuesday she was stepping down. Cheatle repeatedly referred lawmakers seeking details to the investigation being carried out by the FBI.
