Republicans are criticizing Rep. Dan Goldman's potential role on the bipartisan task force to investigate the assassination attempt against former President Trump.
The office of a House Democrat who played a prominent role in former President Trump’s first impeachment is now pushing back against GOP-fueled criticism that he should not be on the task force investigating the attempted assassination of the former president. Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y.
Goldman wrote on X in November 2023, 'Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again. While he must be defeated, I certainly wish no harm to him and do not condone political violence. I apologize for the poor choice of words.
On the GOP side, a senior Republican lawmaker told Fox News Digital that 'it seems like half our members want to be on the task force.' A third source who spoke with Fox News Digital said that Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., was in strong consideration to play a prominent role on the panel. Kelly, whose district the shooting took place in, was present when the shooting occurred. Kelly was also the leader of the resolution establishing the task force that passed the House this week.
