U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has announced the formation of a bipartisan, independent panel to review the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The panel will consist of individuals with extensive law enforcement and security experience and will conduct a 45-day independent review of the planning and actions taken by the U.S. Secret Service and state and local authorities before, during, and after the rally where the incident occurred.
The panel members include former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Frances Townsend, former Homeland Security adviser to President George W. Bush, Mark Filip, a former federal judge and deputy attorney general to President George W. Bush, and David Mitchell, former Secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security for the state of Delaware. Additional experts may be added to the group in the coming days.
