A group of lawmakers visiting Butler Pennsylvania today nearly 6 weeks after the assassination attempt on former President Trump’s life.
The bipartisan group is looking to see the location first hand and investigate more details surrounding the shooting
“It is so important that this task force has the opportunity to do what we did here to actually walk these grounds, to see this area, to get an understanding of the physical space and where this security shortcoming took place. And I’ll tell you for many of us, it raises more questions than we came here with because we can see it’s not a large place, we can get a sense of the area and just how close these buildings were to that stage where President Trump stood that day. So for all of us having an opportunity to see and to walk around and experience, this was a really critical step in our investigative process.”
Lawmakers say their main goals is to make sure this doesn’t happen again and to restore trust that political candidates will be protected.
