House Task Force Investigation Into Trump Assassination Attempts Continues

SAFE Supply Chains Act is Critical to U.S. National Security

September 23, 2024

Dear john,

Political violence only serves to weaken our republic and it has no place in the United States of America. The fact that one of the leading candidates for president, Donald Trump, has now been the target of a second assassination attempt in just over two months is appalling.

The U.S. Secret Service needs a drastic change of culture to ensure that they are able to protect ANY of our political leaders. This means a reemphasis on the fundamentals of VIP security: Securing the perimeter, leveraging resources and technology, and keeping an open line of communication.

Based on what whistleblowers and former agents are telling our Task Force, the Secret Service--with a budget of $3.1 billion and 8,000 personnel--is well able to accomplish their zero-fail mission. We should all be thankful for the elite and dedicated agents who make up the vast majority of the force, but its clear that the failures we have seen of late come from poor and dysfunctional leadership at the top.

We also need to know for certain whether President Trump is receiving the same protection as does Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. For example, we have seen concerning reports that agents who should have been tasked with President Trump's detail at the July 13 Butler rally were instead stationed elsewhere. This is unacceptable, particularly when you consider that there was and still is a credible threat posed by the Iranian regime to target Donald Trump.

In recent weeks, our Task Force has been hard at work conducting transcribed interviews with local and state law enforcement agencies at the Butler site. We have started with the local agencies so that we can then be best equipped to cross-examine the federal agencies who were involved with security on July 13.

I will do all I can to continue to provide updates on this extremely important issue as we head into November. Our Task Force remains committed to uncovering the truth of what happened and ensuring that the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security make the much needed changes to how they operate going forward.

For Texas & Liberty,

Rep. Pat Fallon

U.S. Congressman

***Curious about which bills I have introduced this Congress?***

This Past Week: The House passed two bills to reverse the failed open border policies of the Biden-Harris Administration that have left our communities less safe, and to stop incentivizing the flood of illegal immigration.

1. H.R. 7909, the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, which amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to include sexual offenses or domestic violence crimes as grounds for inadmissibility and deportation of an illegal alien if an illegal alien confesses to the crime or is convicted.

2. H.R. 5717, the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act, which prohibits sanctuary jurisdictions from receiving federal funding if the funding is intended to be used for providing services—such as housing, healthcare, or legal services—to illegal aliens.

Task Force Hearing This Week: This coming Thursday, September 26 marks the date of our Task Force's first public hearing to examine the extent to which the U.S. Secret Service relied upon state and local law enforcement at President Trump's July 13 Butler, PA rally. You can catch this live at 8:30 AM CT by watching the livestream on the Task Force's website.

My SAFE Supply Chains Act: Last week, I introduced the Securing America’s Federal Equipment (SAFE) Supply Chains Act which will fortify America’s cybersecurity by requiring government agencies to purchase electronics solely from original equipment manufacturers or authorized sellers to avoid the risk of procuring harmful products. This is vital to our national security and would prevent foreign actors from doing harm through cyberattacks or more conventional methods.

ICYMI: You can read more about what my bill would do in Fox News Digital, here.

***Have you seen my voting record?***

23rd Anniversary of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11th: Last week, our district staff attended an event in Frisco to remember the 3,000 innocent Americans we lost on 9/11, 2001. Now, 23 years on, me must strive to honor the courage of the first responders who risked their lives to save many. We will never forget this tragedy and we will do our best to forever emulate the spirit of unity and resolve that our country showed in its aftermath.

New Development in Paris: On September 15, Paris Economic Development Corp. held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the expansion of J. Eagan Street through the Northwest Industrial Park. A $1.3 million grant from the US Department of Commerce through the Economic Development Administration and about $500,000 in generous contributions from the city of Paris enabled notable upgrades to water and roadway infrastructure. These enhancements will aid current businesses and encourage future development within the community.

Texas Veterans Commission Goes Above and Beyond: On Tuesday, September 17th, a joint event was held with the DFW Veterans Chamber, Collin County Veterans Coalition, Veterans Center of North Texas, and the American Legion. This was an awesome event which highlighted the incredible work the Texas Veterans Commission is involved in!

September is National Suicide Prevention Month: We must always do all we can to look out for and check-in with our friends, family and neighbors. The Texas Department of Health and Human Services has provided these valuable resources and hotlines, here.

The Congressional App Challenge Deadline is Rapidly Approaching: Each year, students from every congressional district are challenged to create their own unique app. This competition encourages them to learn to code and to spark interest in careers based in computer science. The deadline for applications is October 24, at 11am CT.

Iranian Oil Revenue up 460% Under Biden-Harris: The Biden-Harris administration has gone to war with the US oil industry in the past few years by restricting drilling leases, leaving Americans to pay more at the pump.

But apparently, they have been a boon for the Iranian oil industry, which has seen a 460 percent increase in profits in the past four years. Why? Because the Biden-Harris Administration has been unwilling to properly enforce sanctions on the Ayatollah's regime.

This source of revenue has allowed Iran to better fund its terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah to perpetrate acts of barbarism and genocide against our Middle East ally, the State of Israel.

I joined Fox Business' Stuart Varney to discuss how the Biden-Harris Admin's failures of only contributed to instability in the Middle East and across the world.
