The subcommittee on oversight will come to order. Without objection the meeting record will remain open. Members may submit any materials they wish to be included. Thank you Ranking Member torres and members of the subcommittee for joining us in todays oversight hearing. Today we are focused on identifying the newer security years that continue to persist following debris in the United States capital on january 6, 2021. There are still many Unanswered Questions for former Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats spent millions of dollars on the select committee to investigate january 6 but the committee failed to investigate the Real Security failures. Today we are joined by chief son who was chief of the United States Capitol Police on that day. The Democrats Select Committee never invited him to testify during one of their prime time hearing despite him being the chief of police on january 6. Perhaps that is because the his test may not have fit their narrative. For months House Democrats
