The bipartisan congressional task force investigating the July assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump is already in motion to look into an incident that took place at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The task force, led by Rep. Mike Kelly, has requested a member briefing from the U.S. Secret Service on what the FBI is saying “appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” NOTUS has confirmed.

Kelly told NOTUS that the task force is interested in talking with local law enforcement, the FBI and the Secret Service about the Sunday incident. While he said the team already has “hours” of meetings with the Secret Service on the July attempt, he hopes to hear more from the agency about what happened in Florida.
