The House of Representatives' bipartisan task force probing the assassination attempts on Donald Trump is wrapping up its months-long investigation.
The House task force on the two assassination attempts of President-elect Trump will gather for its final hearing Thursday ahead of the release of its highly anticipated report. U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe will testify before lawmakers. Task force members will then huddle behind closed doors to consider their final report. Chairman Mike Kelly, R-Pa., said the hearing was about restoring confidence in federal law enforcement.
When we look at Secret Service, that’s always the elite of the elite. So, I think what we’re trying to do is establish the situation where … we can restore that confidence.' Trump held a rally in Kelly’s district July 13, when a 20-year-old gunman opened fire on the event from just outside its security perimeter, injuring Trump and others. One rally attendee was killed.
The incidents prompted heavy scrutiny of the USSS and its security practices and led to the ouster of USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle. And while Kelly admitted he 'would have rather had' Cheatle testify before his task force, he praised Rowe’s handling of the situation since succeeding her. 'From the very start, he said, ‘Look, it was entirely our fault. This is the worst state the Secret Service has ever had,’' he said.
The panel released an interim report in late October detailing 'a lack of planning and coordination between the Secret Service and its law enforcement partners before the rally.
