Exclusive: Kamala Harris drove within several yards of pipe bomb at DNC headquarters during Capitol

Source: CNN

Multiple sources now tell CNN Harris pulled into DNC headquarters in Washington at around 11:30 a.m. ET with her motorcade through the garage leading to the parking deck near where law enforcement discovered the pipe bomb.

Harris' whereabouts and movements on January 6, 2021, have been shrouded in uncertainty. Her presence at the DNC wasn't known until earlier this month, when few details became public about her evacuation from its headquarters minutes after a pipe bomb was discovered nearby.

According to an internal US Capitol Police timeline, an unnamed "protectee" was removed from the DNC building at approximately 1:14 p.m. ET -- seven minutes after Capitol Police began investigating the bomb. CNN reported earlier in January that the person was Harris. The Capitol Police timeline did not specify when Harris arrived at the building. Politico first reported on Harris' evacuation.

A law enforcement source familiar with the event told CNN that the US Secret Service, which was responsible for Harris' protection that day, swept the interior of the building, the driveway, parking deck and entrances and exits prior to her arrival. The source said Harris was evacuated using an alternate route away from the bomb.
