It has been gathered the man who broke into a couple’s California home and attacked Paul Pelosi was recorded on US Capitol Police CCTV cameras that were not being monitored at the time.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the US Capitol Police – tasked with protecting members of Congress – have since responded to the report, saying the cameras outside the San Francisco home were not actively monitored as Pelosi was in Washington DC at the time.
They added their Command Center in the US capital has access to roughly 1,800 cameras, and confirmed that a personnel noticed police activity at Pelosi’s home and then moved to monitor the response and assist investigators.
Police said the incident has sparked an internal security review and that they are working to enhance the protection of Congress members outside of the capital.
The attack has led to warnings of a rise in politically-motivated violent incidents ahead of the US midterm elections.
In their statement, the US Capitol Police urged the public to “lower the temperature on political rhetoric before it’s too late.”
