Representative Zoe Lofgren of California wrote a five-page letter to the Capitol Police requesting information regarding the protection of members of Congress when they are not in Washington, D.C. Her letter was sent after the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband at their home in San Francisco.
Representative Lofgren, who chairs the House Administration Committee which oversees the Capitol Police, wrote, “This incident and related circumstances, including the manner in which the Speaker and her family were targeted, raise significant questions about security protections for Members of Congress, particularly those in the presidential line of succession.”
Representative Lofgren asked for further details about a new residential security program that was launched in August for all members of the House and its relationship to the current security measures on the residences that had already been monitored by the force. The Capitol Police stated that they were “gathering input and questions from our Congressional stakeholders.”
