Security, intelligence failures led to Jan. 6 insurrection: Bipartisan Senate report.
On Jan. 6, rioters coming from a pro-Trump rally broke into the U.S. Capitol, resulting in deaths, injuries, arrests and vandalism.A bipartisan Senate investigation of the deadly Jan.
The report mentions Trump's name 44 times, including footnotes, but it does not ascribe any blame for the insurrection, nor does it use that term, something committee aides said was intentional. "I don't know how we would have really identified or talked to the people that will soon be available once the Justice Department process works through its way," Blunt, R-Mo., said.
"I think this report clearly detailed all of our collective concerns about the leadership of the Capitol Police and not the individual officers," Klobuchar said, though she noted that the Jan. 6 failures"were not all on the Capitol Police." Despite reporting that Trump may have been involved in delaying the call-up of the D.C. National Guard, a committee aide said,"We found no evidence of feet-dragging," adding,"There was no communication between President Trump and the Defense Department."
"DOD officials cited lessons learned from the summer 2020 as guiding its decision-making for January 6," the probe found."Officials believed it needed 'control measures' and 'rigor' before deploying personnel, including a clear deployment plan to avoid the appearance of overmilitarization." Bottom line, the"lack of a lead federal agency with an integrated security plan, and breakdowns in communication as to when those orders were given, and when those orders were executed," was at the core of problems involving DOD and the delayed Guard deployment, according to the report.
