Manger reportedly new Capitol Police chief

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.

Completing the FAFSA: Everything you should know

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which opens by Dec. 31, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. Some states now make completing the FAFSA a high school graduation requirement. The U.S. Department of Education awarded about $111.6 billion in federal grants, loans and work-study funds in fiscal year 2022, according to the most recent Federal Student Aid annual report. Those federal funds will assist roughly 9.8 million students in completing their education.
