House Speaker Nancy Pelosi proposed a rule change that would impose on lawmakers who refuse to go through newly installed metal detectors at the Capitol a $5,000 fine deducted directly from their paychecks.
“On behalf of the House, I express my deepest gratitude to the U.S. Capitol Police for the valor that they showed during the deadly insurrection on the Capitol, as they protected the lives of the staff and the Congress,” Pelosi said in a Jan. 13 statement.
