WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré is being tapped to lead a security review of the U.S. Capitol in the wake of last week's deadly insurrection.
Pelosi said during a news conference Friday that the whole Capitol complex must be subjected "to scrutiny in light of what happened" and the fact that President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration will be held there next week.
Honoré is perhaps best known for overseeing humanitarian aid efforts in Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina.
Pelosi says Honoré will conduct an immediate review of security and inter-agency interaction and Capitol "command and control."
