FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
I was in my office on the fourth floor of the Cannon House Office Building on Wednesday when the Capitol Police entered around 1:15 to tell me and my chief of staff to evacuate immediately. The officers were running through each floor banging on office doors. They recommended that I remove the pin on my suit jacket that designates me as a member of Congress. We knew nothing as we raced down the stairs.
Judiciary Committee Members: "We cannot begin to heal the soul of this country without first delivering swift justice to all its enemies – foreign and domestic"
