On Thursday, Michael A. Bolton, the inspector general for the United States Capitol Police, will deliver a report on the law-enforcement agency’s preparation for and conduct during the attack.
Bolton determined that leaders told officers on the scene to hold back.
The strategy on January 6, the inspector general found that Capitol Police leaders ordered the Civil Disturbance Unit not to use its most serious crowd-control weapons, such as stun grenades, as Trump supporters took over the building while lawmakers were still inside. Officers on duty told the inspector general that those tools could have helped “push back the rioters.”
Despite this report of the violence to come, the FORMER chief of the Capitol Police determined that the likelihood of an attack was “improbable.”
