AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
A broad breakdown in law enforcement intelligence and communication before and during the Capitol riot in January has been set out in a US Senate report.
It found intelligence was not passed on to police and officers lacked command, as supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the building.
Five people died after Congress in Washington was invaded as it tried to validate Joe Biden's election victory.
The report does not discuss the role of the Republican president in the riot.
