Capitol Police failed to prep for riot despite warnings, former DHS head Chad Wolf says

U.S. Capitol Police failed to implement emergency security plans before the Jan. 6 riots despite receiving the same intelligence briefings as law enforcement agencies that did prepare adequately, according to a top government official.

Chad Wolf, who resigned last week from his post as acting Homeland Security secretary, told the Washington Examiner Monday that the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, Interior, along with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington and Capitol Police, spoke daily in the days leading up to President Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally and shared internal information with one another about what was expected.
