Senate report exposes FBI and DHS failures in Jan. 6 warning.
TL;DR Summary
A new Senate committee report titled “Planned in Plain Sight” criticizes the FBI and Department of Homeland Security for failing to believe the intelligence tips they received before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The report expands on previous findings about red flags missed in the weeks leading up to the pro-Trump riot and offers fresh examples of warnings and information that went unheeded. The report concludes that federal officials were too focused on specific tips and failed to adequately consider the sheer volume of vague but violent online conversation.
