“I want to thank the task force giving the opportunity to actually testify before you,” Rep. Cory Mills said in his opening statement to the panel investigating the assassination attempts against Donald Trump. Except neither Mills nor Rep. Eli Crane, who was sitting next to him, was on the list of witnesses for the group’s first official hearing. And only three members of the 13-person task force were present listening to Mills — all of them Republicans.
In fact, the official hearing was technically over.
This was a follow-up meeting, which Democrats were given less than a day’s notice about.
