According to Punchbowl News, Democratic Representative Dan Goldman from New York is seen as a &#8220;strong contender&#8221; for a position on the congressional task force investigating the shooting that nearly killed Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. Goldman, who was the lead counsel during Trump&#8217;s first impeachment before being elected to Congress in 2022, has long promoted the unfounded claim that Trump is a Russian agent and has been a vocal critic of the former president, consistently portraying him as a danger to democracy. In 2021, Goldman asserted that &#8220;the Trump administration withheld evidence that definitively proves collusion&#8221; and claimed there was &#8220;no longer any doubt about collusion&#8221; between Trump and Russia, having previously stated in 2020 that &#8220;there not only was evidence of collusion but there was, in fact, collusion.&#8221; The Durham Report, which examined the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, found that the FBI &#8220;failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law&#8221; and relied on &#8220;uncorroborated intelligence&#8221; to initiate the investigation, despite having information suggesting that the collusion narrative might have originated from within Hillary Clinton&#8217;s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman has also used strong, negative language regarding Trump in the past. During a November 2023 appearance on Jen Psaki&#8217;s MSNBC program, he stated, &#8220;It is just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be, he has to be eliminated,&#8221; although he later retracted his comments, calling them &#8220;a poor choice of words.&#8221; He has reiterated similar sentiments about Trump being a threat to American democracy, stating in a June 24 post on X that &#8220;Donald Trump remains the greatest threat to our democracy,&#8221; just weeks before a gunman nearly killed Trump on live television. He referred to &#8220;Project 2025,&#8221; a lengthy document created by conservative think tanks that Trump has distanced himself from, as a plan to lead the country into fascism. The bipartisan task force investigating the assassination attempt will consist of 13 members, with seven Republicans and six Democrats. Other Democrats being considered for the panel include Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey, New York Rep. Grace Meng, and Colorado Rep. Jason Crow, among others, as reported by Punchbowl News.
