US Senate report outlines security failures during Capitol breach
Al Jazeera
The January 6 riot was marred by government, military, and law enforcement missteps, the Senate report says.
A Senate investigation of the January 6 riot and breach of the US Capitol has uncovered broad government, military and law enforcement missteps ahead of the violent attack, including a breakdown within multiple intelligence agencies and a lack of training and preparation for Capitol Police officers who were quickly overwhelmed by the rioters. The Senate report, released on Tuesday, is the first bipartisan review of how hundreds of Donald Trump supporters were able to violently breach security lines and break into the Capitol as legislators met to certify the election victory of Joe Biden. Two weeks ago, Republicans struck down legislation passed by the US House of Representatives that would create an independent commission to investigate the incident, similar to that created in the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
