We Finally Know Who Will Serve on the Trump Assassination Attempt Task Force

On Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) revealed which members will serve on the bipartisan task force to investigate the July 13 assassination attempt against former and potentially future President Donald Trump. Democrats had been taking their time to name their members.

Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman shared the names of members on Monday afternoon. His site’s morning newsletters have been tracking potential picks, and so these names on other side of the aisle aren’t exactly a surprise.

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) will serve as the chairman of the task force while Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) will serve as the ranking member.

Democrats are trying to put Dan Goldman on the committee to investigate the assassination attempt.

Just weeks ago he called for DJT to be “eliminated.”
