The Senate committees on rules and homeland security will hold a joint hearing on the failures that led to the breach of the Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. Witnesses include: - Acting Chief of Police Robert J. Contee - Former chief of Capitol police Steven Sund - Former Senate sergeant-at-arms Michael C. Stenger - Former House sergeant-at-arms Paul D.
