'...we didn't have enough people, there were training issues, equipment issues. You know, there were things that we -- that with regard to intelligence that we probably should have addressed, but we didn't.' 'Those issues have been addressed'
One year after a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the halls of Congress -- sending lawmakers fleeing and leaving the building ransacked -- the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police expressed confidence in an interview with ABC News that his force would be able to effectively prevent any similar kind of attack on the nation’s legislative branch from happening again.
The intelligence division of the Capitol Police "knew from online posts of a plot to breach the Capitol and posts that contained Capitol Complex maps of the tunnel systems, yet did not convey the full scope of known information to USCP leadership, rank-and-file officers or law enforcement partners," the report found.
"To some, my efforts and injuries are just an exaggeration," he tweeted along with a bruised foot and hand. "THEY did this to me. This why it matters to me and should matters to you."
