WASHINGTON — Top leaders in Congress quickly unified to rebuke a failed
assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a Saturday rally, demanding briefings
and planning investigations into the incident that left the former president
injured.

“Congress will do a full investigation of the tragedy yesterday to determine
where there were lapses in security and anything else that the American people
need to know and deserve to know,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said
Sunday on the “TODAY” show. “But in the meantime, we’ve got to turn the rhetoric
down. We’ve got to turn the temperature down in this country.”




Johnson said he has “gotten briefings from law enforcement” and asked “pointed
questions” of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Saturday night.

Top Democrats on Capitol Hill also condemned the shooting.

“I am horrified by what happened at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania and relieved
that former President Trump is safe. Political violence has no place in our
country,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement. His
office said after the incident he had been briefed on the latest developments.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., asked Secret Service
Director Kimberly Cheatle to testify at a July 22 hearing. House Homeland
Security Committee Chair Mark Green, R-Tenn., also demanded answers from
Mayorkas in a Sunday letter.

Green held a call with Cheatle on Sunday afternoon, according to a Homeland
Security Committee GOP spokesperson, and said the majority on the panel planned
to hold a member briefing on Monday.



In a separate letter to Cheatle, Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., demanded answers
on the security lapse at the Trump rally, including whether the Trump campaign
requested additional protection and whether those resources were denied.

Gallego, a military veteran, wrote that the shooting “raises grave concerns
regarding the security measures — or lack thereof — that were taken to protect a
former President of the United States and a Major Presidential Candidate.”

“I call on all those responsible for the planning, approving, and executing of
this failed security plan to be held accountable and to testify before Congress
immediately,” Gallego wrote in the letter, obtained first by NBC News.

Reps. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., and Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., announced in the wake of
the shooting that they would propose legislation “providing President Joe Biden,
former President Donald Trump, and presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.
with enhanced Secret Service protection.”

In a notice sent by the Senate Notification Center late Saturday in the wake of
the assassination attempt, Senate offices were told that Capitol Police is “not
tracking any additional threats to Members.”



“Capitol Police are coordinating to provide additional support at events related
to both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions,” the notice added.

House offices received a similar notice earlier that night, and members will
receive a virtual security briefing on Monday afternoon, according to two people
invited.

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., called on the Democratic-controlled Senate Homeland
Security Committee to hold an investigation on the shooting before Aug. 1 “to
demand answers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S.
Secret Service on how this happened and what steps are being taken to
investigate this assassination attempt and make sure it never happens again.”

Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., two members of the committee,
also called for an inquiry.

“We need more details & answers about the assassination attempt against former
President Trump so there can be accountability & we can ensure this never
happens again. As a member of the Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs
Committee, I’m calling for a hearing to investigate,” Rosen said on X.

An aide to Senate Homeland Security Committee Chair Gary Peters, D-Mich., said
Sunday afternoon that the panel would be conducting an investigation and had
requested a member briefing from DHS. The aide also said Peters would speak with
Mayorkas on Sunday.



Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., herself a past target of political
violence, said in a statement: “As one whose family has been the victim of
political violence, I know firsthand that political violence of any kind has no
place in our society. I thank God that former President Trump is safe.”
