A recent Department of Homeland Security report revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris was alarmingly close to a pipe bomb during the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, situated just 20 feet from the Democratic National Committee headquarters where she was visiting. The bomb was placed the night prior to her arrival, and the Secret Service's advance security sweeps failed to include the area outside the building, leading to the bomb going unnoticed until nearly two hours after Harris entered. Upon discovery, it took the Secret Service 10 minutes to evacuate her, resulting in her spending a total of 1 hour and 50 minutes inside the DNC building. The report suggests that the Secret Service has since adjusted its policies regarding security for newly elected officials. Additionally, the FBI is still seeking information about the unidentified individual who placed the bombs at both the DNC and Republican National Committee headquarters. The findings highlight significant lapses in security measures during a critical moment in U.S. history.
