The panel will present its review by Dec. 15, Homeland
Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a statement.
Members of the panel are: Tom Perrelli, former associate
attorney general; Mark Filip, former deputy attorney general;
Danielle Gray, former assistant to the president; and Joseph
Hagin, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations.
Johnson said he also asked the panel to recommend potential
directors to lead the Secret Service and determine if there
should be a broader review of the agency. Its latest director,
Julia Pierson, resigned amid fierce criticism after the latest
intrusion.
A separate, ongoing inquiry by the Secret Service into the Sept.
19 White House intrusion will be completed by Nov. 1, Johnson
said in a statement.
