Republicans are scheduled to hold a similar call with Capitol Police and law enforcement later this week, according to lawmakers and aides.
One alleged plot involved rioters potentially seeking to surround the Supreme Court and the Capitol with weapons, to prevent Democrats from entering Congress and allowing Republicans to control both chambers, the sources said. One source familiar with the call described the planned precautions as creating a "bubble inside a bubble," citing notes taken during the phone briefing.
