Three House members from Pennsylvania have been selected to join a bipartisan task force to investigate the errors that led up to a failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

Republican Rep. Mike Kelly and Democratic Reps. Madeleine Dean and Chrissy Houlahan will be part of a group of 13 lawmakers chosen by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.). The task force is scheduled to produce a final report by Dec. 13.

Kelly’s Western Pennsylvania district includes Butler County, where the assassination attempt took place. Dean represents most of Montgomery County, while Houlahan’s district covers Chester County.

In a joint statement, Johnson and Jeffries said they were confident in the chosen members to “find the facts, ensure accountability and help make certain such failures never happen again.”
