Part 2/9:
The formation of the task force was initiated by a unanimous resolution passed by the House of Representatives. The mandate centered on understanding the events that transpired on the day of the assassination attempt, focusing on accountability, and identifying necessary reforms to ensure the safety of elected officials during public events.
The hearings conducted by the task force revealed that on the day of the attempted assassination, there were critical lapses in security at the rally site. These lapses not only endangered Donald Trump but ultimately led to the tragic death of volunteer firefighter Cory Compor and injuries to two others attending the rally. The task force underscored the importance of accountability and responsible oversight of security measures by the Secret Service.
