The United States Capitol Police Department has reportedly requested an extension of the National Guard presence around the Capitol building for the next sixty days.
According to The Associated Press, which first reported on the development citing officials at the Department of Defense, reported that Pentagon officials are currently reviewing the request, and the National Guard has been checking the availability of guard members in various states to volunteer for the job. The Washington Post, which subsequently cited two Pentagon sources on the condition of anonymity, reports that Department of Defense Secretary Loyd Austin will review the request.
