It was another busy week on Capitol Hill — and a whirlwind week on the campaign trail — with contentious hearings on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, Democrats endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid, an address from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then the House leaving town a week early. CQ Roll Call’s photojournalists were there to capture the action.
