Mayorkas announces independent review
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced an independent review of the shooting and said it will be launched in "days."
"We are, indeed, in the process of selecting who will lead the independent review. The findings indeed will be made public," he said. "It is very important that we achieve transparency so that the American people have confidence in the work of the review and its findings and recommendations. And we need to move with swiftness and urgency, because this is a security imperative."
Mayorkas said he was committed to going "externally of the government" so that "no question of its independence can be raised."
Mayorkas told reporters he has "100% confidence" in Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden also has confidence in the director.
Biden told reporters Monday that he has faith in his own Secret Service detail and faith in the agency.
