Acting House Sergeant-at-Arms Timothy Blodgett informed all members of Congress in a memo on Monday that some parts of the security fence surrounding Capitol grounds that was installed after the Jan. 6 insurrection will be taken down.
According to the letter obtained by multiple outlets, Blodgett told lawmakers that the authorities had determined “there does not exist a known, credible threat against Congress or the Capitol Complex that warrants the temporary security fencing.”
