House Task Force Will Include Florida Trump Assassination Attempt in Investigation
Reps. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Jason Crow (D-CO) already demanded a briefing from the Secret Service regarding the second attempt.
The House Task Force investigating the Pennsylvania assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump will include the Florida attack.
A member of the task force told Fox News said the group expects to investigate the two incidents in tandem, and they said they do not expect that doing so will extend their investigation timeline.
House lawmakers may have to update the resolution that created the task force earlier this year to include the second assassination attempt.
Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., blasted the Secret Service and other authorities for not securing the area around Trump ahead of the Florida attack.
The congressman wants answers on how the suspect was able to get that close to the former president and revealed that other lawmakers are already demanding more security measures.
Reps. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Jason Crow (D-CO) already demanded a briefing from the Secret Service:
Reps. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) and Jason Crow (D-Colo.), the chair and top Democrat on the House task force, have requested a briefing for the panel with the Secret Service this week over what authorities have deemed another “attempted assassination” that occurred at Trump’s golf club in Florida. Shots were fired near Trump, who was unharmed, and a suspect is in custody.
“The Task Force is monitoring this attempted assassination of former President Trump in West Palm Beach this afternoon. We have requested a briefing with the U.S. Secret Service about what happened and how security responded,” Kelly and Crow said in a joint statement, vowing to “share updates as we learn more.”
I said earlier that I imagine the Senate committees investigating the first attempt would include the second one.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) has already tore into the Biden-Harris administration for “stonewalling” their investigation.

Comments
The lefties are trying to say both attempted assassins were “Republicans!”
That’s ridiculous on its face, particularly since the recent shooter wannabe had all his posts downloaded before they could be scubbed.
Anyone know why the USSS still isn’t using drones?
He looks so gay.
Nothing will come of it
Nothing
Blumenthal? Really?
1. I suppose if you can’t afford a Ghillie suit, next best is pink.
2. Nice idea for non-fed investigation, but I wonder if there is a real chance of actual access to documents, intel, or the suspect.
