A bipartisan House task force has been established to investigate the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The task force, chaired by Mike Kelly with Jason Crow as the ranking member, has begun its work by requesting documents and briefings from key agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service, the Department of Justice, and the FBI, as well as top Biden officials. This marks the first official action of the task force, which is set to conduct a four-month investigation. The task force aims to scrutinize the actions of these key agencies in relation to the assassination attempt and ensure accountability. Despite the severity of the situation, no individuals have been disciplined or suspended pending the investigation, according to Representative Michael Waltz.
