San Jose, Calif. – Committee on House Administration Chairperson Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) issued the following statement today upon receiving and reviewing U.S. Capitol Police Inspector General Michael A. Bolton’s latest flash report in a series of preliminary findings and recommendations related to the January 6 insurrection:

“I have received the latest flash report from United States Capitol Police Inspector General Michael A. Bolton about the Capitol Police Department’s preparation for, and response to, the January 6 insurrectionist riot.  As with his previous reports, Inspector General Bolton has identified troubling deficiencies on the topics in this report, including the Department’s threat assessment and counter-surveillance operations.  In addition to the Committee’s other ongoing oversight activities, I will again convene the Committee on House Administration in the coming weeks to hear directly from Inspector General Bolton about his findings and recommendations.”
