Hageman Votes to Establish Trump Assassination Attempt Task Force

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) recently voted in favor of House Resolution 1367, which establishes the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump. According to a media release from Hageman’s Office, the resolution passed unanimously, 416-0. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will now appoint members to the task force, which will be split 7-6 between Republicans and Democrats. The panel will have subpoena power and be responsible for delivering a report and potential legislative recommendations no later than December 13, 2024.

Hageman said the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was a good start, but there is much more to investigate and the American people deserve to know what went so wrong that a deranged shooter was able to fire on former President Trump. Hageman added that they need to uncover procedural failures and miscommunication in this attack to eliminate the risk of future assassination attempts and that she looks forward to a thorough and fact based process, and to addressing the failures quickly.
