Acting U.S. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told lawmakers Thursday that the government was aware that armed extremists were planning mayhem at the Capitol on Jan. 6, but the intelligence grossly underestimated the scope of the attack.

 

Chief Pittman said had there been better intelligence, she would likely have suggested former Vice President Mike Pence not come to the Capitol to oversee the certification of the presidential election results. Mr. Pence was a target of the insurrectionists angry over former President Trump’s loss in the November election.

 

“The [Capitol Police’s] preparations were based on the information it gathered from its law enforcement partners like the FBI and others within the intelligence community, none of which indicated that a mass insurrection of this scale would occur at the U.S. Capitol on January 6,” she said in testimony before the House Appropriations Committee.
