House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says security is being stepped up for representatives traveling to and from Washington in the wake of the attack on the U.S. Capitol last month.

In a letter to colleagues on Tuesday evening, she said that the House sergeant at arms and the U.S. Capitol Police were “partnering with the Transportation Security Administration, Federal Air Marshal Service and Washington Metropolitan Airports Authority” to protect members of Congress during their travels.
