Honoré, who led the government’s military response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, has publicly criticized Republicans who sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election. His review is expected to be an initial bid on security improvements as lawmakers consider broader structural changes and a large-scale review of the Jan. 6 assault.
Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, tapped by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to review Capitol security in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 insurrection, is getting assistance from a “task force” of senior retired military officials, according to a list revealed for the first time Friday.
