Pelosi: House Democrats' Capitol security funding bill is 'just about ready'
Fox News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that Democrats' Capitol security supplemental funding bill, which will reportedly total $2 billion, is "just about ready."
After pro-Trump protesters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré conducted a review into what happened in order to provide recommendations in the following areas: Capitol security operations, infrastructure physical security, and member security in congressional districts, residences, and during travel. Recommendations were passed on to the House sergeant-at-arms. "I'm talking about General Honoré’s suggestions about what are needed. There has been a report about shortcomings in the Capitol Police that must be addressed," Pelosi said. "We're talking about money, and we want to make sure it is the appropriate amount, nothing less than we need but nothing more than we need and appropriately prioritized to, again, open up the Capitol so that it is the temple of democracy that it is, that people can come and be there with adequate protection."More Related News
