Direct line of sight 'should not occur,' Mayorkas says

The gunman who fired on former President Donald Trump on Saturday should never have been able to get a "direct line" of sight, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said.

"A direct line of sight like that to the former president should not occur," Mayorkas told ABC News' on "Good Morning America" on Monday. "That's why president Biden directed an independent review of the incident."

"We have to learn everything about the assailant ... and we are going to really study the event independently and make recommendations to the Secret Service," he said.
