MILWAUKEE—House Speaker Mike Johnson shared Wednesday that he is setting up a special task force to investigate the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
In an interview with The Daily Signal, Johnson, R-La., said he’s spoken with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas; the director of national intelligence, Avril Haines; and the leadership of the FBI (though he specified that he has not spoken with FBI Director Christopher Wray directly).
“The answers that they are providing to us thus far are not satisfactory,” he said. “So I announced this morning that we are gonna set up a special task force, a precision strike on this, it will be a bipartisan investigatory group and they will have subpoena authority. We’re going to get down to the bottom of this quickly.”
