| For Immediate Release August 23, 2024 Contact: Taylor Haulsee WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson today released the following statement after the United States Secret Service placed multiple agents on leave following the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. “On July 13th, a heroic father, Corey Comperatore, was shot and killed at the Butler, PA rally – and President Donald Trump was shot in the head – just a millimeter away from being murdered too. This was a complete failure by the Secret Service. Today’s decision to place multiple agents on leave is the agency’s first step toward accountability, but it comes 41 days after the attempt on President Trump’s life – and it’s nowhere near enough. “Since the Secret Service refuses to recognize reality and will not be transparent, the House’s Bipartisan Task Force will continue to aggressively and thoroughly investigate the shocking security failures, get answers, and bring accountability. The liberal media is working to erase history, and big tech is trying to censor and shadow ban those who seek information online, but the American people will NOT forget about this tragic day – and neither will the House.” ### |
