Panel to hold hearings next week on Secret Service, DC Metro

The House Oversight Committee will convene hearings next week on the state of the Secret Service and D.C. Metro system.

Acting Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy will appear before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday to discuss reforms to the agency in light of White House security incidents last fall.

On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on three immigration bills regarding the treatment of unaccompanied children crossing the border.
