"The Trump administration's abuse of DHS authority over the last 4 years hurt the Department's reputation and disseminated--decimated, actually the public trust in DHS actions."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this timely hearing on a very, very important topic, and to the Ranking Member as well."

"Wouldn't part of that lessons learned be trying to assess the prior administration's lack of response to this?"

"Can you assure this committee that DHS's failure to issue a threat assessment was not part of an attempt by the Trump administration to leave the Capitol and Congress undefended?"
