(The Guardian) House Republicans, Democrats set up taskforce to investigate Trump assassination
The House of Representatives is creating a bipartisan taskforce to investigate the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
The taskforce will be composed of seven Republicans and six Democrats, and investigate what went wrong at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, how to prevent it from happening again, and “to ensure accountability”, the Republican House speaker, Mike Johnson, and the Democratic minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, said in a joint statement.
“The security failures that allowed an assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life are shocking. In response to bipartisan demands for answers, we are announcing a House Task Force made up of seven Republicans and six Democrats to thoroughly investigate the matter,” Johnson and Jeffries said.
“The task force will be empowered with subpoena authority and will move quickly to find the facts, ensure accountability, and make certain such failures never happen again.”
The House will vote on creating the taskforce later this week.
