Secret Service Didn't Inform Capitol Police of Threats to Pelosi Before Capitol Riot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal prosecutors probing Donald Trump's role in the attack on the
U.S. Capitol have sent a grand jury subpoena to the National Archives
asking for all the documents it provided to the House January 6
committee. This comes amid reports the U.S. Secret Service failed to
inform Capitol Police about a threat made against Speaker Nancy Pelosi
until after the January 6 attack was underway. That's according to a new
report by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in
Washington, which cited email communications between law enforcement
officials around the time of the insurrection.
