Bipartisan task force investigating Trump shooting requests docs, briefings from DHS, DOJ

The bipartisan House of Representatives task force investigating the attempted assassination of former President Trump launched on Monday with a request to three federal agencies for staff-level briefings to be scheduled by Friday.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray received letters.

Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., chairman, and Jason Crow, D-Colo., ranking member, wrote the letters requesting "all documents and information that have been produced to date, to any committee of the House or Senate related to the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump" as well as "a briefing for staff to review DHS and USSS’ responses to Congress to date, and to discuss the Task Force’s priorities with respect to documents and information moving forward."

President Biden had previously ordered a separate independent inquiry into the assassination attempt.
