Task Force Hearing on Trump Assassination Attempts

A bipartisan congressional task force investigating assassination attempts against Donald Trump will hold its first public hearing on Thursday. The panel, consisting of seven Republicans and six Democrats, has spent two months investigating security failures, including a July 13 incident in Pennsylvania and a recent attempt in Florida. The hearing will present findings from interviews and over 2,800 pages of documents, focusing on the Secret Service's reliance on local law enforcement. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following the Pennsylvania shooting incident, and the task force aims to address long-term security measures. Testimonies will include local law enforcement officials involved in the Butler County incident. This investigation coincides with the upcoming presidential election, raising concerns about candidate safety.
