Two local law enforcement officials have been asked to testify before the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security regarding the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at the Butler Farm Show grounds. House Homeland Security Chair Mark Green announced that a group of committee members will visit the site of the attempted assassination on Monday to investigate the security failures surrounding the incident. Additionally, the US Secret Service director will testify publicly on Monday at the House oversight committee about the events in Butler, PA.
