00:00On that independent review, who will lead that independent review?
00:05What is the timeline for how long it will take to understand the failings that happened
00:09on Saturday?
00:10And will those findings be made public, or at least a summary of those findings be made
00:15public?
00:16We are, indeed, in the process of selecting who will lead the independent review.
00:22The findings, indeed, will be made public.
00:24It is very important that we achieve transparency, so that the American people have confidence
00:31in the work of the review, and in its findings and recommendations.
00:36And we need to move with swiftness and urgency, because this is a security imperative.
00:41I'm sorry, Mr. Secretary, on that, does the President have confidence in the Secret Service
00:46Director after Saturday's failures?
00:48I have 100 percent confidence in the Director of the United States Secret Service.
00:53I have 100 percent confidence in the United States Secret Service.
00:57And what you saw on stage on Saturday, with respect to individuals putting their own lives
01:03at risk for the protection of another, is exactly what the American public should see
01:09every single day.
01:10It is what I, indeed, do.
