House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says there may be a need to prosecute members of Congress if any are found to have assisted the pro-Trump rioters in last week's attack on the Capitol.

The California Democrat says that assault highlighted the need for the U.S. to beware of domestic threats. She says, "We've really lost our innocence in this." Pelosi tells reporters that members of Congress need to be able to trust each other.
Her words underscore some Democrats' suggestions that some GOP lawmakers helped feed President Donald Trump's supporters' belief in Trump's false charges that his presidential election loss was due to vote fraud.
They also highlight the extraordinary distrust and anger that's grown in Congress since the attack, which led to this week's House impeachment of Trump.
Pelosi says retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré is being tapped to lead a security review of the U.S. Capitol in the wake of last week's deadly insurrection.
Pelosi said Friday that the whole Capitol complex must be subjected "to scrutiny in light of what happened" and the fact that President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration will be held there next week.
Honoré is perhaps best known for overseeing humanitarian aid efforts in Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina.
Pelosi says Honoré will conduct an immediate review of security and inter-agency interaction and Capitol "command and control."
