House vote planned to establish task force into Trump assassination attempt

Published July 22, 2024 11:00am ET



House Republicans are moving forward with establishing a bipartisan task force to review the security failures that led to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the latest move by the GOP to hold the Secret Service accountable.

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) is spearheading a bill that would establish a task force composed of no more than 11 members and have no more than five of the 11 members being in the minority. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) will be considered “ex officio members” but have no vote, per the bill’s text.
