Much of the violence was caught on camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who oversaw a security review in the wake of the rioting, told CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation\u201d on Sunday that the Capitol itself will be secured by Capitol Police but that the complex will remain closed to the general public because of the strain on the police force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGod bless the National Guard,\u201d Honore said. \u201cThey\u2019ve done significant work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House on Thursday approved \u2014 by a single vote largely along party lines \u2014 a $1.9 billion measure to fortify the Capitol. The next day the House approved with 35 Republican votes the formation of an investigative commission. Both measures face an uncertain future in the evenly divided Senate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said he opposes the commission proposal, which would need significant Republican support to advance under Senate rules. Republican opponents say the commission would become a political tool as midterms elections approach, though the proposal requires its work to be concluded by the end of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon announced earlier in the week that an extension of the Guard presence \u2014 2,149 troops \u2014 had not been
