Report Reveals Details Of Intel Warnings Ahead Of Capitol Attack

The report states two agencies failed to follow protocol though there were many warnings and threats posted in plain sight on social media.

A Senate Committee released the latest highly critical assessment of the security failures surrounding the attack on the Capitol.

The new report released by the Senate Homeland Security Committee shows a new outlook of various intelligence failures by the FBI and DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis, who are responsible for preventing domestic terrorism.

Internal communications from both agencies reveal how top officials either ignored or dismissed clear indicators of potential violence by Pro-Trump actors ahead of the January 6th Attack, leaving law enforcement unprepared for what unfolded that day.

The report states the agencies failed to follow protocol though there were many warnings and threats posted in plain sight on social media.

The FBI said it worked with law enforcement agencies to share information gathered before and during the capitol attack and said since then they have increased their focus on sharing information more quickly to state and local partners.
