About the Task Force

On Wednesday, July 24, the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Resolution 1367 by a vote of 416-0. This resolution, introduced by Chairman Kelly, formally established and charged the Task Force with investigating the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. The shooting in Butler, the hometown of Task Force Chairman Kelly, wounded Mr. Trump killed Corey Comperatore, of Sarver, Pa., and injured two other Pennsylvanians.

The Task Force is empowered with all investigative authority of the House of Representatives, including subpoena authority. For the remainder of this Congress, it will assume control and jurisdiction over all pending House committee investigations regarding the Trump assassination attempt. The goal of the Task Force is threefold:

To understand what went wrong on the day of the attempted assassination
To ensure accountability
To prevent such an agency failure from ever happening again

The Task Force will make recommendations for reform to the relevant government agencies and recommend any necessary legislation to implement the reforms.
