Speaking to reporters after the hearing, Greene said Cheatle should be fired and that her evasive testimony has led many Americans to become "furious" and suspect a potential coverup.
"Every single member on the committee is receiving nonstop calls and text messages from our constituents back at home," Greene said. "This is a failure like I've never seen, to the point where people are questioning, 'Is she involved? What is she hiding? Is someone telling her not to tell us information? Is someone telling her not to resign?'"
"I mean, it seems like a complete cover up with the lack of information that she's willing to provide," Greene added.
