Bipartisan Task Force Formed to Investigate Trump Assassination Attempt

House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced the formation of a bipartisan task force to investigate the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, led by Republican Rep. Mike Kelly from Pennsylvania. The task force will include seven Republicans and six Democrats, with Rep. Jason Crow serving as the ranking member. Members were selected amidst controversy, particularly over the exclusion of some candidates considered more qualified, such as Reps. Eli Crane and Cory Mills, which angered some conservatives. The panel has subpoena power and aims to report findings by December 13, focusing on security failures and accountability. Notably absent from the task force is Rep. Dan Goldman, causing outrage from Trump supporters. The investigation is seen as crucial for preventing future incidents and restoring public confidence in security measures.
