The Oversight Committee – the main investigative board of the US House of Representatives – has summoned US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to testify at a hearing on 22 July.

"Americans demand answers about the assassination attempt of President Trump," the panel said in a statement on social media.

At a news conference earlier, FBI special agent Kevin Rojek said “it is surprising” that the gunman was able to open fire on the stage before the Secret Service killed him.

But when asked if there was a failure of security, he said they were "not gonna make that assessment" with an active investigation.

The Secret Service was not at the news conference.
