WASHINGTON (AP) — A top ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is demanding fresh answers from the U.S. Capitol Police about security failures that led to a brutal attack on Pelosi’s husband last week. The chairwoman of the House Administration Committee, California Democrat Zoe Lofgren, is questioning the embattled agency about whether it can keep lawmakers and their families safe. Lofgren sent a four-page letter to Capitol Police on Wednesday saying the attack on Paul Pelosi raises “significant questions” about security protections, particularly those in the presidential line of succession. Paul Pelosi remains in the intensive care unit of a San Francisco hospital.
