Congress creates Trump assassination attempt task force
SUMMARY
The House has unanimously voted to establish a bipartisan task force to investigate the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The 13-member panel, with subpoena power, will address the severe security failures revealed during congressional hearings. Key issues include why a rooftop within rifle range of Trump was excluded from the security perimeter, delayed responses to warnings, and the presence of explosives. The task force aims to overhaul security protocols and ensure accountability. Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stressed the importance of finding facts and preventing future lapses in security for high-profile figures.
