US Capitol Police chief apologises for failures in January 6 riot

Al Jazeera  

Admission comes as impeachment trial against Donald Trump for ‘incitement’ of the Capitol insurrection gets under way. The interim chief of the United States Capitol Police force has apologised for “failings” during this month’s deadly attack on the building by supporters of former President Donald Trump. In prepared testimony before Congress on Tuesday, Yogananda Pittman said Capitol Police “failed to meet its own high standards as well as yours”. The day after the riot, then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund said that his force “had a robust plan established to address anticipated First Amendment activities”. In her testimony, Pittman said Sund asked the Capitol Police Board, which oversees the department, to declare a state of emergency and allow him to request National Guard support, but the board declined.
