“I just think getting to the truth is a slow process,” Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), task force chairman, said during a press conference in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Monday. “And for us, none of us are looking at it as we have to get a quick answer. We’re looking at — we have to get the right answer.”

Nine of the 13 task force members traveled to the site where Trump held his rally on July 13 and toured where a 20-year-old gained access to a nearby building and fired eight rounds at the crowd. One attendee, former fire chief Corey Comperatore, died, and two other rally attendees were injured. Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet.

All of the members present stressed the importance of bipartisanship, a message reinforced by the placement of both Democrats and Republicans on the task force that the House unanimously approved last month.

“I think that sends a very strong message that you don’t have to be a Democrat or a Republican or an unaffiliated to say that there’s no room for political violence in America,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), task force ranking member, said of the 416-0 vote to establish the panel.

The press conference comes just hours after a separate group of House Republicans held their first hearing related to the Trump assassination attempt independent from the bipartisan task force.

The group, which is named the “J13 Forum,” a nod to the day Trump was shot in July, heard testimony from three witnesses deemed subject matter experts on government security. The witnesses included Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service special agent; Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL officer; and Ben Shaffer, a Washington regional SWAT operator.

The independent panel was created by Reps. Cory Mills (R-FL) and Eli Crane (R-AZ) who were dissatisfied that they were not selected to sit on the bipartisan panel despite their background knowledge and efforts to visit the shooting site. Other Republicans have since joined that investigation, including Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Chip Roy (R-TX), and Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

The bipartisan task force investigation led by Kelly and Crow is expected to conclude and produce a final report by Dec. 13, although lawmakers will release interim reports along the way, according to Johnson. It’s unclear when the independent group plans to conclude its work or how often it will release its findings.

However, Mills indicated the independent task force would hold future hearings and told attendees at Monday’s hearing that “while this is the first hearing of its kind to come together, it won’t be the last.”

Crane told the Washington Examiner that members of the J13 Forum had concerns that the bipartisan panel was “political in its form.”

“I was told that by leadership that it was — they had to make sure that they have representation from all over the party,” Crane said. “I mean, you need look no further than the fact that there’s three snipers in Congress that I know of: Myself, Cory Mills, and Morgan Luttrell. Why wasn’t one of us put on? So, that tells you all you need to know. So if you start working your way out from that, it was politically put together.”

Crane added that while he thinks the J13 group might be able to move faster than the bipartisan task force, he wishes the panel “great success.”

“I hope they’re able to get to the bottom of it because they have subpoena power, and they’re serious about doing it,” Crane said. “And so if they do that, I’ll be their biggest cheerleader because this isn’t about this committee, this task force, that task force. It’s about what it’s about, for why we’re supposed to be here and what we’re — what the American people expect of us.”

Crow and Rep. Laurel Lee (R-FL) both acknowledged the other investigations into the assassination attempt but argued they were the primary House investigative team. The ranking member said the task force’s staff is in “regular communication” with federal agencies. He and Kelly sent a letter “assuming all jurisdiction from all other committees.”

“We are the sole task force of jurisdiction for the House of Representatives for this investigation, and we are proceeding that way,” Crow said. “And we are aware of other members conducting reviews, but again, this is the committee, or this is the task force, that the House of Representatives has empowered, with subpoena power, with a full investigative authority to conduct the review.”
