During the House task force's first hearing on the attempted assassinations of former President Donald Trump, a bipartisan split emerged as Democratic lawmakers skipped the final portion of the panel. The hearing featured two Republicans, Reps. Eli Crane and Cory Mills, who have been conducting their own parallel investigation into the shooting.
The Democratic minority expressed frustration over not being informed of the Republicans' testimony until late Wednesday afternoon, with some members only finding out on Thursday morning. Despite this, Task Force Chairman Mike Kelly emphasized the importance of maintaining a bipartisan and consensus-based approach to the investigation.
