What Happened This Week In Washington — And Georgia

A lot of confusion right now with the protests outside the Capitol that we’re trying to sort out here. At this point, we’re told that all personnel “are advised to relocate from the Cannon House Office Building to the Rayburn and Longworth House Office Buildings through the underground tunnels,” and are asked to not evacuate outside. This is still a developing situation. Bear with us as we read in on what is happening.

Huffington Post reporter Igor Bobic tweets that some of the protesters have now gained entry inside the building:

According to livestreams, both from protesters and news organizations, there is a sizable crowd pressed up right against the Capitol building, up the stairs and on the balcony, demanding entry, while others are scattered farther back.
