Multiple Government Agencies Failed to Prepare for Capitol Riot Despite Clear and Credible Warnings

According to a Senate report, the FBI and Homeland Security downplayed or ignored intelligence indicating that violence was likely at the Capitol on January 6.
The agencies received multiple tips about potential violence in the days leading up to the attack, but they failed to coordinate and share information that could have prepared law enforcement.
The Senate report details how the FBI in particular failed to issue strong warnings or consider that the threats of violence they received were credible and likely to be acted upon.
The intelligence community has been slow to shift focus from international to domestic terrorism, leaving the U.S. vulnerable to threats from within.
Lawmakers are calling for investigations into the failures that allowed a deadly attack on the seat of American democracy in order to prevent future violence and secure the nation's institutions.
