A new analysis claims that 70 per cent of those charged for inciting the US Capitol riots have been released as they wait for trial. The analysis by The Guardian found that the pre-trial rate among the ones charged with inciting the insurrection was extremely high when compared to average nationwide figures.

In the US, 25 per cent of defendants are released before their trial, the analysis claims.

The report also alleges that members of the groups known as Proud and Oath Keepers, who are facing the most serious charges for planning violence have been released before trial. Most defendants from January 6 riots are facing low-level charges, experts believe. But the report adds how racial bias may be factoring in.

Experts also fear that a majority of those involved in rioting and violence may not serve any prison time at all, even if they plead guilty.

According to the US attorney’s office for the District of Columbia, the alleged rioters are facing charges different from what most people experience in the federal system.&nbsp;

By mid-May, 440 people were arrested in charges related to the Capitol rioting, as per data from the US Justice Department. 125 have also been charged of assaulting law enforcement. The number of alleged Capitol rioters in custody and those who have been released will continue to fluctuate over the course of the investigation.

But The Guardian’s analysis clearly states that a majority of alleged rioters are not facing detention before trial. Court records state that many have been asked to follow release conditions like GPS monitoring, curfews, home detention and limited access to social media.

Most of the people are facing relatively low-level charges like entering a restricted building or disorderly conduit within a restricted building. An analysis done by The Washington Post earlier showed that 44 per cent of those charged with the Capitol riots were only facing misdemeanour charges.

Majority of people charged for US Capitol riots aren't in jail, new analysis reveals

Members of US House are set to receive closed-door briefings on Monday based on a report focused on enhancing security at the US Capitol to prevent another breach.&nbsp; Retired Army Lieutenant General Russel Honore will give three separate briefings to members of both the Republican and Democratic parties, Bloomberg reported.

Honore's briefings will come in the aftermath of House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy issuing a statement against Honore, alleging that his review of the Capitol riots was politically biased. McCarthy also claimed that Honore was chosen by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to further her cause of "turning the Capitol into a fortress".

Last week, Pelosi claimed that she had received Honore's draft report undertaking a security review of the Capitol's security after the attack on January 6 undertaken by supporters of former US President Donald Trump.

"It's going to take more money to protect the capitol", Pelosi had said, while adding that it would still be safe for people to visit the complex without worrying about adverse events like the January 6 attack.

On January 15, Pelosi had commissioned Honore to take charge of the review, and to imbibe a review of Capitol's security infrastructure, command and control, and inter-agency communication among many things. She referred to Honore as a "respected leader" who was experienced in dealing with crises. 
 
Pelosi's calls for an independent review has found traction among both Democrats and Republicans, who have remained deeply divided in the aftermath of Trump's second impeachment.

In his statement, McCarthy questioned Honore's "political bias" based on statements he had put out before his review, while especially referring to an accusation that Capitol Police officers were "complicit" in the attack.
