Bipartisan Task Force Formed to Investigate Trump Assassination Attempt

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries have announced a bipartisan task force of 13 lawmakers to investigate the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Chaired by Rep. Mike Kelly, who represents the district where the shooting occurred, the panel aims to uncover details about the Secret Service's protective measures during Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The task force, which includes seven Republicans and six Democrats, will release its final report by December 13, following unanimous House approval. Kelly emphasized the need for thorough investigation to ensure accountability and prevent future failures, while other members have expressed their commitment to transparency and oversight. Notably, the panel includes representatives from Pennsylvania and Florida, highlighting a cross-section of political representation. The investigation follows the tragic shooting that resulted in one death and injuries to several others, including Trump himself.
