A total of 15,000 National Guard members have now been activated and will deploy to Washington, D.C., to help provide security in the run up to the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
The Army also said Tuesday that officials are working with the Secret Service to determine which Guard members may need additional background screening. Rep. Jason Crow, D-Co., had asked Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy to have the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command screen Guard members coming in to ensure they were not “sympathetic to domestic terrorists.”
In a statement, the Army said the D.C. National Guard is also giving troops additional training as they arrive in the city, so they know to identify and report any extremist behavior to their commanders. Schumer told Wray that they must also be fully prosecuted to the full extent of federal law. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press.
A Capitol police officer died from injuries suffered in the riot, and police shot a woman during the violence. Three others died in what authorities said were medical emergencies.

Trump inside job!!!
Then why wasn’t more done to protect Congress?
FBI is Out To lunch: At this point you can’t even trust the FBI. They received actionable intelligence - days before the Riot. They minimized it. They blew it. Or is there another explanation MAGA sympathizers or Members?
Was Trump briefed about this before the rally?
If Trump was briefed before his speech on 6/1 that there could be violence, then that makes his speech so much worse. Instead of trying to lower the temperature, he raised it, knowing it would encourage violence. But of course he knew anyway from social media.

Seeking desperate help, looking for a simple share to get out of a rough situation. Thank you for your support 🙏 Venmo P-FORD-1988
Did they notify the secret service? Seems odd that they would allow the president to speak at an event in DC or allow the VP head to the capitol if they were legitimately concerned. So who did they warn?
This is an awful look, not to mention, no increase in police or security
Warned who? Dc and capital police? National guard? Congress?
100k videos were submitted to the FBI on people who incited violence and infiltrated the Capitol, those videos were submitted by TrumpSupporters. 100 thousand witnesses who attended the TrumpRally did not approve of the actions of very few people. Stated the FBI ...
Anger at him...and his clown 🤡 posse!
Well, thank God they sprung into action and prevented any trouble.
Did TraitorTrump know?
Sending a lot of love to all abuse survivors who are hearing the familiar refrain that it's our responsibility to make peace with violent, angry men who neither apologize nor admit wrongdoing, simply so that they won't become more violent and angry.
So the FBI knew something was coming, kept quiet, then lied about it.
Let’s see the report
Inside job
so.. once again, we knew it was going to happen, and nothing was done. So, it was either negligence..so fire everyone including trump.. or arrest everyone, including trump. Either or.. impeach now.
Trump's America
Anyone who said Trump didn’t want this is lying.
No kidding. Same thing next week, but will this administration block an appropriate response again?
Wait wait wait... What!!!! civilwar
You still worried about that? From what I have seen JoeBiden doesn't get to 4 yrs in office. This was a successful coup and many white men including me believe that it was.
They were all in on it!!!!!
Not impeaching the person who instigated attack on US soil will cause more anger. It'll show that some people can get away with anything in United States.
TedCruz Resign
Taliban Trump must be impeached now.
So will the military engage this time?
INA § 349 states that a U.S. citizen by birth, shall lose his nationality (citizenship) by voluntarily attempting, by force, to overthrow the U.S. government, including conspiracy convictions.
POTUS did nothing and new it was coming and incited the sedition. treason
However, Trump placed key ass kissers in the top positions so nothing would be done. It’s a complete and utter travesty
Let those terrorists be angry .. we are angry to.. this is America! Choose a side: terrorists for trump or America! Im betting on America
Geez - always after the Terrorists and POTUS ignited them. Did FBI say Trump will invite his base?
Oh that's why the Capitol was so well guarded that day!
The only anger I feel is because it's moving like molasses.
So I guess that didn’t pan out then. There was no war. Only a riot contained to one building. About 1000 times smaller compared to what happened over the summer where riots destroyed billions of dollars all across the country.
Then you shoot them. Period.
Any bus loads of antifa expected?
BlondFather That did not hide the attack, they said for weeks that this kind of thing would happen. The fact that those in charge didn’t listen or wouldn’t listen is something that needs to be dealt with. I read 45 bs I was afraid this would happen they should’ve also!
How many warnings turn out to be bs? Kind of like the warning CNN is broadcasting (constantly) about Inauguration day. Nothing is going to happen.
Thank God we don’t need to doom-scroll any more, now that the election is over.
He is basically telling the Trumpanzees to BeAngry . He is not going to stop until he is stopped.
republicans........
We knew all this before January 6th. They still had very little protection against the yee-hadists.
That didn't age well.
Your headline accuracy is regressing further
'according to The Washington Post' and you guys can't do your own research lazy bastards
So if they were already prepared to come, how is this Trumps fault?
BlondFather Have to wonder how many law enforcement people wanted the coup to succeed
But, but, but...Trump just said words that weren’t meant to be taken literally. I’ve been told he had no way of knowing there would be violence.
Those fucking assholes are threatening my state 😡
Inside job. Cut and dried.
coup d'é·tat. traitors.
Interesting note. Trump can be sued personally for damages for the January 6th insurrection. Pass that on to the families of officers injured and killed please.
It’s hilarious to see people being charged with trespassing rather than treason
Stop covering trump like a president, . HES A FASCIST terror instigator. Come on!
The president would have been briefed on this.
