Task force probing Trump assassination attempt to expand to include Florida incident

Raw Story  

WASHINGTON — U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson Tuesday announced that a bipartisan task force created to investigate the July assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump will expand to include the apparent assassination attempt at the GOP presidential nominee’s Florida golf club over the weekend. Johnson said he spoke with the White House and pressed for Trump to receive the same amount of protection from the U.S. Secret Service as a sitting president. And one of the things we’re going to do is expand the scope of the existing task force to cover the second assassination attempt.” That task force, led by Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania and Democratic U.S. Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, Tuesday requested that the Department of Justice and FBI brief lawmakers on the possible assassination attempt by Friday. Rowe said that since the July 13 assassination attempt, the U.S. Secret Service has “moved to increase assets to an already enhanced security posture for the former president.” He added that President Joe Biden “made it clear that he wanted the highest levels of protection for former President Trump.” “The Secret Service moved to sustain increases in assets and the level of protection sought, and those things were in place yesterday,” Rowe said of Sunday’s incident.
