U.S. Capitol Police watchdog to testify intelligence collection needs to be overhauled

The watchdog for the U.S. Capitol Police will testify Thursday before a House committee that the department needs to overhaul its intelligence collection, operational planning and culture to ensure that mistakes made in the lead up to the January 6 attack on the Capitol building are not repeated in the future. 

Inspector General Michael Bolton is set to testify Thursday before the Committee on House Administration, where he will present findings from the first of two "flash reports" that assess U.S. Capitol Police's preparation for and response to the breach of the Capitol.   CBS News previously obtained Bolton's first report, which cites multiple "deficiencies" and the department's failure to disseminate intelligence it had as early as December 30 that suggested protesters at the Capitol "may be inclined to become violent." That threat assessment was not included in the operational plan prepared by the Capitol Police's Civil Disturbance Unit that was finalized on January 5, even though the threat assessment was finalized on January 3
