(CNN) Vice President Kamala Harris was evacuated from the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington on January 6, 2021, minutes after a pipe bomb was discovered nearby. The evacuation came just seven minutes after Capitol Police began investigating the bomb, according to an internal police timeline obtained by CNN. Harris on Thursday declined to answer questions about being evacuated when asked by reporters at the White House. The DNC bomb threat was cleared at 4:36 p.m. The suspect is believed to have planted two pipe bombs near the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the US Capitol riot.
