The U.S. Capitol Police have apologized for halting a Christian children’s choir as they sang the United States’ national anthem with permission from the Speaker’s Office.

“Although popup demonstrations and musical performances are not allowed in the U.S. Capitol without the proper approval, due to a miscommunication, the U.S Capitol Police were not aware that the Speaker’s Office had approved this performance,” the U.S. Capitol Police told The Epoch Times in a June 2 email.
