Source: Washington Post
Internal investigators for the departments of Justice, Defense, Interior, and Homeland Security will investigate how security officials prepared for and responded to the pro-Trump rally on Jan. 6 that descended into a riot at the U.S. Capitol, officials announced Friday.
The inspectors general for all those agencies will conduct reviews of what people knew and how they prepared for that day, along with their actions during the riot, according to news releases from Justice Department and Defense Department inspector general offices.
The Justice Department review “will include examining information relevant to the January 6 events that was available to DoJ and its components in advance of January 6; the extent to which such information was shared by DoJ and its components with the U.S. Capitol Police and other federal, state, and local agencies; and the role of DoJ personnel in responding to the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6,” Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s office said in a statement.
The Defense Department review “will examine requests for DOD support leading up to the planned protest and its aftermath at the U.S. Capitol complex, the DOD’s response, and whether the DOD’s actions were lawful and supported by requirements according to regulations and applicable guidance,” the Defense Department’s inspector general office said in a statement.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
