Senator Ron Johnson Calls For Transparency In Capitol Investigation

Committee chairman Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Ct., left, looks on as ranking member Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., speaks during a homeland security and governmental affairs subcommittee hearing on Capitol

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson recently expressed frustration over the lack of information provided to him during a briefing by the Secret Service director regarding the events of July 13th. Senator Johnson highlighted the limited details available, primarily sourced from local law enforcement and whistleblowers.

He raised concerns about the slow pace of the investigation, citing a lack of transparency in the briefing process. Senator Johnson emphasized the need for more comprehensive answers to the numerous outstanding questions surrounding the incident.

During the briefing, it was revealed that Homeland Security personnel on the ground were inadequately trained, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. Despite efforts to interview individuals involved, the delay in receiving transcripts of these interviews from the FBI has hindered progress.
