Pelosi Taps Retired Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré To Oversee Capitol Siege Probe

He’s “going to hold these folks accountable ...”

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré has been tapped to lead an immediate review of the security of the Capitol complex, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday.

Honoré, who led the military’s response to Hurricane Katrina, will review “the Capitol’s security infrastructure, interagency processes and procedures, and command and control,” Pelosi (DCalif.) told reporters. His investigation will follow the deadly insurrection at the Capitol Jan. 6, which has led to concerns among lawmakers about security failures and that rioters may have had inside help ahead to their assault.
