Joe Biden said that he has ordered an independent review on national security at Donald Trump‘s rally “to address exactly what happened” in the assassination attempt on the former president.

Much of the focus has been on how the shooter was able to gain access to rooftop vantage point, where he was able to aim at Trump and the rally inside a security perimeter.

Biden, speaking from the White House, also is planning an Oval Office address this evening. The president said that he spoke last night with Trump, who was injured in the shooting, and he is “well and recovering.” “We had a short but good conversation,” Biden said of his rival. “Jill and I are keeping him and his family in our prayers,” Biden said. “We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who was killed.

He was protecting his family from bullets that were being fired.” Biden reiterated that “there is no place in America or this kind of violence or any violence for that matter.
