US Capitol lockdown: Security questions raised after pro-Trump mob overruns Capitol

Описание: The bloody chaos inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday came after the police force that protects the legislative complex was overrun by a mob of Trump supporters in what law enforcement officials called a catastrophic failure to prepare. Security at the U.S. Capitol is now facing intense scrutiny.

Earlier in the day, a large rally of the outgoing President of the United States’ supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., as Congress met to certify president-elect Joe Biden’s win.

Hours later, chaos ensued as Trump supporters broke through barriers and charged into the U.S. Capitol building, representing one of the gravest security lapses in recent U.S. history, current and former law enforcement officials said, turning one of the most recognizable symbols of American power into a locus of political violence.

As Jackson Proskow reports, the breach has spawned questions about the preparations that were in place beforehand: how protesters were able to enter the U.S. Capitol buildings in droves? And why tougher security wasn't in place with weeks to prepare for this well-publicized event?
