House Speaker Mike Johnson announced today (Wednesday) that he would be forming a bipartisan "task force" within the House to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, according to ABC News.
Johnson told Fox News that "There is not a lot of procedural hurdles and we’ll have subpoena authority with the task force, as well. It will be compiled of Republicans and Democrats to get down to the bottom of this quickly so the American people can get the answers they deserve."
Johnson also said that he would call for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle for the failures of the force in preventing the shooting.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General also announced that it was investigating the conduct of the Secret Service, and President Biden has also called for an independent review.
