GOP-led panel on Trump assassination attempt seeks Secret Service briefing on new Florida incident

The GOP-led House committee created to investigate the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump said Sunday it is seeking a Secret Service briefing on the second such attempt on Trump earlier that day in Florida. 

"We are thankful that the former President was not harmed, but remain deeply concerned about political violence and condemn it in all of its forms," GOP Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly and Colorado Rep. Jason Crow, the chairman and top Democrat on the House Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump, respectively, wrote in a joint statement on the matter.

"The Task Force will share updates as we learn more," they also wrote.

In July, gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks fired shots from a rooftop into a Trump presidential campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing the GOP nominee in the ear. 

On Sunday, alleged gunman Ryan Welsey Routh apparently tried to shoot at the president from outside the Trump International Golf Club, in West Palm Beach, Florida, while Trump was on the course.
