WASHINGTON (AP) — Security officials testifying before the Senate at Congress’ first hearing on the Capitol riot are casting blame and pointing fingers. But they also acknowledged Tuesday that they were woefully unprepared for the violent white nationalists and extremists plotting the siege. Senators drilled down on the stunning security failure that day as rioters loyal to former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, sending lawmakers certifying President Joe Biden’s election to flee for safety. Trump was impeached by the House for inciting the insurrection, but was acquitted by the Senate. It was the most violent attack on Congress in 200 years.
