Secret Service Didn’t Inform Capitol Police of Threats to Pelosi Before Capitol Riot

HeadlineAug 19, 2022

Federal prosecutors probing Donald Trump’s role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol have sent a grand jury subpoena to the National Archives asking for all the documents it provided to the House January 6 committee. This comes amid reports the U.S. Secret Service failed to inform Capitol Police about a threat made against Speaker Nancy Pelosi until after the January 6 attack was underway. That’s according to a new report by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which cited email communications between law enforcement officials around the time of the insurrection.
