In the wake of the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, the Capitol Police chief is giving an update on the department's work to protect Congressional members.
Chief Tom Manger says since Jan. 6, the department has made progress on implementing a list of improvements, but that there's still more work to do. He said long-term plans to expand protective operations are underway, but he also called for more resources.
"We believe today's political climate calls for more resources to provide additional layers of physical security for members of Congress. This plan would include an emphasis on adding redundancies to the measures that are already in place for congressional leadership," Manger said in a statement.
