As the House opens its impeachment hearing, Speaker Nancy Pelosi welcomed National Guard members who have been called in to help with security after last week's storming of the Capitol.

Pelosi thanked a group of National Guard members and then went inside the Capitol to oversee the impeachment hearing.

The Guard said in a statement that the authority was requested by federal authorities and approved by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy as of about 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Up to 15,000 Guard members are expected to be on duty in coming days in the district to support law enforcement in connection with the Jan. 20 inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
