House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Carolyn Maloney is expected to testify Wednesday that federal authorities were “unprepared” to cope with the Capitol insurrection “even though (the attack) was planned in plain sight on social media for the world to see,” according to a report.
The New York Democrat’s remarks will come after months of congressional hearings aimed at investigating how a mob of Trump supporters was able to overwhelm law enforcement and storm the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“It is our duty to understand what went wrong that day, to seek accountability, and to take action to prevent this from ever happening again,” Maloney will say, according to prepared remarks obtained by ABC News. “More than four months later we’re still in the dark about exactly what went wrong.”
The New York Democrat’s remarks come after months of numerous House and Senate hearings to investigate how a mob of Trump supporters was able to overwhelm law enforcement and storm the Capitol on Jan. 6.
