Capitol Police Deny Congresswoman’s Request To Open Capitol Hill For Sledding

The U.S. Capitol Police denied a request from Washington, D.C., Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton to allow sledding on Capitol Hill after a snowstorm hit the nation’s capital.

“Unfortunately, due to the current security posture, COVID-19 restrictions, and the deconstruction of the Inaugural platform, we cannot permit sledding on the Capitol Complex at this time,” Eva M. Malecki, who is the communications director for the Capitol Police, said to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
