Republican Congressman Cory Mills said he will be conducting a “parallel independent investigation” into the attempted assassination on Former President Donald Trump.
The Florida lawmaker and former sniper said he was disappointed in the task force Speaker Mike Johnson assembled to investigate the shooting.
“It’s very unfortunate but not surprising for anyone familiar with how DC works. I’m not a politician, leadership, or a ‘yes man,’” Mills said.
“I wish the members of Speaker Johnson’s Task Force well, and think it’s time for a parallel independent investigation with subject matter experts (SME) and the whistleblowers who’ve already come forward that myself and Rep. Eli Crane and Benny Johnson have spoken with,” Mills continued.
“I will be speaking with other members, and although I won’t have subpoena powers, I will personally fund whatever is required for additional staff to further investigation and expose the truth.”
