House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have officially announced the formation of a bipartisan House task force to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The security failures that allowed such an attempt are being described as shocking, prompting bipartisan demands for answers.
The task force, consisting of seven Republicans and six Democrats, will have subpoena power to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. The primary goals of the task force are to understand the security failures that led to the shooting, hold individuals accountable, and implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
A resolution to establish the task force and appoint its members will be brought to a vote in the House later this week. The task force's composition of seven Republicans and six Democrats aims to ensure a balanced and bipartisan approach to the investigation.
