In a move to address significant security breaches at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the House of Representatives has voted to establish a bipartisan Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump.
This development follows a harrowing incident on July 13, when an assassination attempt on the former president highlighted serious security failures.
Congresswoman Laurel Lee (R-FL), a key advocate for the task force, issued a statement emphasizing the gravity of the situation. “The security failures that occurred on July 13, which allowed for an assassination attempt on President Trump, could have been prevented. Congress has a responsibility to conduct oversight to provide accountability and transparency for the events that occurred that day,” Rep. Lee said. “This bipartisan task force will help us find the facts and ensure such failures like this never happen again.”
