About this episode
A new assessment commissioned by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recommends a dramatic expansion of security measures at the U.S. Capitol.

This episode: congressional correspondent Susan Davis, congressional reporter Claudia Grisales, White House reporter Ayesha Rascoe, and political reporter Danielle Kurtzleben.
