Chief J. Thomas Manger will retire from the U.S. Capitol Police on May 2, his office announced Tuesday.

Manger's four years on the Hill weren't without incident. In January, a man managed to slip a handgun past security while on a Capitol tour. The incident provoked bipartisan condemnation from House Administration Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and ranking member Joseph D. Morelle, D-N.Y.

"The USCP has requested a nearly $1 billion budget from Congress for their operations, which includes extraneous items that miss the mark in terms of their number one priority, keeping the U.S. Capitol and all who visit and work here safe," the pair said in a joint statement at the time.

It will now be up to the three-member Capitol Police Board — the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms, as well as the Architect of the Capitol — to select a new chief.

The first to call out Chief Manger was former Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson. Here's what he had to say about the chief and the danger President Trump faced on his 2025 Inauguration Day.

Tarik Johnson:

????Breaking: USCP Chief J Thomas Manger is ranked as the third Dirtiest Capitol Cop to ever don the uniform and he's back to his old tricks again! I'm giving Manger 48 hours to inform the country of what occurred during President Trump's Inauguration last month. I just found out today.

Once again, he (Manger) has done the country a disservice as he tries to cover-up security malfeasance that could have easily put the life of our President in danger. I wanted nothing more than to be done with Manger but I WILL NOT be silent about this.
