Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas announced the appointment of a Trump-hating Democrat to an independent review panel tasked with investigating the government over the July 13 assassination attempt on President Trump.
Trump was wounded in the assassination attempt, with a bullet miraculously only hitting his right ear. One supporter was killed and two seriously wounded in the attack on Trump as he spoke at an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on evening of July 13, 2024.
The shooter, Thomas Crooks, was killed by a sniper after opening fire on Trump from a nearby rooftop that was not protected by the Secret Service or local law enforcement.
The review was ordered by Joe Biden last week. Mayorkas named four members to the panel. Two were officials in Republican George W. Bush’s administration. One was a former police chief in Democrat-run Prince George’s County, Maryland and the fourth is former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano (D) who served as Barack Obama’s first Homeland Security secretary.
