THE TOPLINE: Tuesday marked the first public testimony from officials in charge of Capitol security since the Jan. 6 attacks, and they pointed a finger squarely at the Pentagon. The hearing before a pair of Senate committees included testimony from former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, former House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving and former Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenge, who all resigned in the wake of the attack. Acting D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee also testified.

GAO: Pentagon didn t fully evaluate costs, readiness effects of deploying troops to border

ADVERTISEMENT In its report Tuesday, the GAO found the DOD fully examined the legality, potential for lethal force, safety risks to troops and whether supporting the requests was in the interest of the department when evaluating requests for assistance from the DHS.    But the GAO also found the Pentagon “developed rough cost estimates that were not reliable” and “did not fully evaluate the effect on military readiness of providing support.” “Without reliable cost estimates and a timely readiness analysis, DOD is limited in its ability to evaluate the effect of supporting DHS on its budget and readiness rebuilding efforts,” the report said.
