Today, the House of Representatives voted unanimously to expand the investigative scope of the Bipartisan Task Force to include the second assassination attempt on President Trump. This decision follows the recent attack on Trump's life.

Speaker Johnson commented on the unanimous consent request: "There’s no leader in American history who has been attacked as aggressively as Donald Trump, and yet remained so strong and resilient. Today, the House is rising to meet this historic moment by voting to formally expand the purview of the task force to include the second assassination attempt on his life. The American people deserve answers and accountability for the many security failures that have led to these events – and this Congress will deliver."

The expanded scope aims to provide a comprehensive investigation into both incidents involving President Trump.
