Members of the 'People's Convoy' given Capitol tour by GOP senator

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) gave a tour of the Capitol to truckers from the "People's Convoy," his office confirmed to The Hill, noting it was compliant with the Senate sergeant-at-arms policies.

Politico first reported that the Kansas Republican had provided a Capitol tour to the group, which has been protesting workplace vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 protocols and was influenced by the Canadian trucker convoy movement.

According to Politico, a senior congressional aide had reported the tour to the Department of Justice amid concern that it could allow the truckers to organize a way into the building.

The aide told Politico that he had heard complaints about the truckers being allowed into the Capitol by a Capitol Police officer.
