Mayorkas names bipartisan panel to lead independent review of Trump assassination attempt
Story by Priscilla Alvarez, Evan Perez and Holmes Lybrand, CNN • 15h
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, under pressure from the White House and Congress, unveiled Sunday the experts who will be conducting an independent review of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, tapping former senior Homeland Security officials who served under multiple administrations, as well as law enforcement officials.
Some of those chosen to serve on the independent panel include Janet Napolitano, a former DHS Secretary, and Mark Filip, a former federal judge and deputy attorney general to President George W. Bush.
The Department of Homeland Security and the White House have been closely managing how the Secret Service is handling the fallout from the attempt on Trump’s life. The independent review is an effort by officials to get ahead of congressional reviews and hearings happening on Capitol Hill, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.
Over recent days, the Department of Homeland Security had been reaching out to individuals, including some former government officials, to gauge interest and select who will be on the panel.
