As the congressional task force investigates the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, a group of conservative congressmen held a counterprogramming event to discuss their efforts in the investigation.
The Republican representatives, including Cory Mills, Andy Biggs, Eli Crane, Matt Gaetz, and Chip Roy, emphasized that this hearing is just the beginning and that more such investigations will follow. They highlighted the importance of selecting individuals based on meritocracy and vowed to continue pushing for accountability and transparency in government.
Mills called for serious consequences, such as criminal charges, against those deemed responsible for the assassination attempt. He stressed the need for accountability to determine whether the act was intentional or a result of criminal negligence.
Participants in the event included Dan Bongino, a former United States Secret Service Special Agent, Erik Prince, a former United States Navy SEAL Officer, and Ben Shaffer, a Washington Regional SWAT Operator.
