Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a detailed report to Congress about the two failed assassination attempts on Donald J. Trump, one in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, and another in West Palm Beach, Florida on September 15, 2024. The report must cover the motives and methods of the suspects, any requests made for additional security resources, how the Secret Service and other law enforcement prepared for the Butler event, and how these agencies responded during both incidents. The Department of Homeland Security, including the Secret Service, would need to submit this report within seven days of the bill becoming law, in unclassified form though a classified annex may be attached. The report would go to relevant Senate and House committees overseeing homeland security and judiciary matters, as well as a House task force specifically formed to examine the assassination attempt. This legislation primarily affects federal agencies responsible for protecting political figures and aims to give Congress fuller insight into security failures and responses surrounding these high-profile incidents.
