House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., emphasized the importance of speed and precision in the investigation of the Trump assassination attempt during a recent vote to establish a bipartisan commission. The task force was created with the intention of moving quickly to uncover the truth behind the incident.
Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle provided testimony indicating that accountability and necessary changes would follow once a comprehensive report on the event is compiled. However, she mentioned that the report may not be ready for up to 60 days.
Expressing urgency, Johnson stated that waiting for 60 days was unacceptable. He announced that the task force members from both parties would be revealed later that day. The appointed members are expected to work diligently, with a final report deadline set for early December.
Johnson further mentioned that interim reports would be issued throughout the investigation process to keep stakeholders informed of the progress. The task force's focus on efficiency and transparency underscores the gravity of the situation and the commitment to a thorough and timely investigation.
