An internal Capitol Police report on January 6 protest revealed extensive security failures on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) watch.
An internal Capitol Police report on the January 6 incident revealed extensive security failures on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s watch.
The report specifically reveals the Capitol Police had received intelligence reports from agencies like the FBI warning that violence could occur on January 6. But those intelligence reports were not properly embodied into an operational plan before January 6. The intelligence failure was made worse by Pelosi’s decision to disassemble the police department’s intelligence unit that tracked threats on social media. The chatter on social media before January 6 might have alerted the police to the potential seriousness of the protest.
