Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, a veteran of the first Gulf war who oversaw National Guard deployed to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, will work with members of Congress to examine the state of the Capitol Police in the wake of the Jan. 6 assault. Most officers were undermanned, overwhelmed and outgunned. At least one U.S. Capitol police officer, Brian Sicknick, was killed by a rioter.
