WASHINGTON – Today, Appropriations Committee Republican Leader Kay Granger (R-TX) and Chair Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) led a briefing on the security surrounding the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. As the Committee responsible for funding the agencies charged with protecting the Capitol Building and keeping Members of Congress and staff safe, it is critical that Appropriators investigate the circumstances surrounding the violent events of January 6th to prepare for and prevent future attacks. Today's briefing was the first of many actions the Committee will take.
