Later that day at 18:00 UTC, McCaul announced his role in a new congressional initiative focused on public safety: " I'm chairing the first hearing of the Task Force on Enhancing Security for Special Events in the U.S. We'll examine past security challenges at mass gatherings with the goal of preventing, detecting, & responding to threats at upcoming events on U.S. soil. Tune in now:".

He continued addressing concerns over large-scale gatherings at 21:11 UTC: "Though mass-spectator events present an opportunity to showcase American excellence, our adversaries & violent extremists will view them as targets for inflicting mass casualties & generating fear.
