Multiple outlets are reporting that Tom Manger has been picked to be the new chief of the U.S. Capitol Police.
Ohio Democratic Representative Tim Ryan — the Chair of the House Legislative Branch Subcommittee that oversees the Capitol Police — told CBS News that Manger was selected to head the Capitol Police.
The Associated Press cites “two people briefed on the matter,” but Manger does not appear to be one of those two people.
Speaking with WTOP’s Kate Ryan, Manger — who has been the chief of the police forces in Fairfax County, Virginia, and Montgomery County — said he has been under consideration, “but there’s been no official decision, at least that I have been told.”
When told that the AP had the story, he laughed and said, “Yeah, but I don’t have it!”
He said Ryan had been the second reporter to contact him regarding the report.
WTOP’s Kate Ryan, CBS News and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
