One of the House Republicans leading an unsanctioned investigation into the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump accused the bipartisan task force approved by GOP leadership of being “politically put together.”

The independent panel dubbed the “J13 Forum,” in a nod to the day the assassination attempt occurred in July, held its first hearing on Monday and focused on the failures of federal agencies to act quickly in the moments leading up to the shooting. The hearing coincided with the first press conference of the official task force, which was created by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to have sole jurisdiction over House investigations into the attempt on Trump’s life.
