The US Capitol Police have launched an internal investigation after officers monitoring CCTV cameras trained on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home failed to notice the break-in which immediately preceded a brutal assault on Ms Pelosi’s husband last week.
Earlier this week, multiple outlets reported that officers at the department’s Washington DC command centre responsible for keeping watch on live feeds from cameras installed to monitor the Pelosi residence did not know anything was amiss early on the morning of 28 October until they saw police vehicles with emergency lights activated outside of the speaker’s townhouse.
