News summary

A bipartisan congressional task force is investigating two recent assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump, focusing on security lapses by the Secret Service. The first incident occurred during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a shooter fired multiple shots, injuring Trump and killing one attendee. The second attempt involved Ryan Wesley Routh, who pointed an AK-47-style rifle at Trump from a golf course in West Palm Beach, where he went unnoticed for 12 hours. Lawmakers, including Rep. Ro Khanna and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, are demanding better funding and resources for the Secret Service to enhance security protocols. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe acknowledged the need for congressional support, emphasizing the agency's commitment to preventing future threats. The incidents have reignited discussions about the adequacy of protections for Trump and other political figures amidst rising political violence.
