Congress is investigating two security incidents that allegedly occurred on the days when President Donald Trump made his two most recent speeches at the U.S. Capitol this year, at least one involving a gun and another raising concerns about whether a metal detector was evaded, a House official told Just the News.
House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., disclosed on Monday night that the reported incidents have been referred for investigation to the U.S. Capitol Police Inspector General's office.
"There are serious allegations as to what you just mentioned, regarding individuals who have attempted or who have brought weapons into the United States Capitol," Steil told the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. "There is a full investigation ongoing into this. We have an inspector general report due in the near future."
