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.

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.
