Jan. 6 Rally Organizers Concealed March Plans, Altered Security Measures

A new report reveals that Women for America First, the organizers of the rally, withheld critical information about then-President Trump's attendance and the planned march to the Capitol.

The organizers of the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the attack on the U.S Capitol actively concealed information from the National Park Service that would have materially changed the security plans at the event, according to a new report from the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Interior Department.
The report found that the National Park Service failed to review safety documents, inspect the site of the event, or notify the public about banned items at the Ellipse.
Officials with Women for America First, which helped organize the rally, withheld information about then-President Donald Trump's attendance at the event and the planned march to the Capitol.
The report found that the organizers from Women for America First failed to provide information about Trump's likely attendance at the rally and that they actively concealed information about the plans to follow the event with a march to the Capitol, despite a clear request for that information from the National Park Service.
The report added that Women for America First 'intentionally failed to disclose information' about the planned march on the Capitol.
