National Guard troops who have been deployed at the US Capitol over the past four months will be leaving Sunday, said the man tasked with leading a review of Capitol security following the January 6 insurrection.

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré said the National Guard will be leaving the Capitol grounds Sunday -- 137 days after theinsurrection -- because they've accomplished their mission of securing the Capitol, in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation."

However, Honoré said the area surrounding the Capitol will not be able to open immediately because of the ongoing strain on US Capitol Police resources.
