Senate Report Reveals FBI and Homeland Security's Ignored Intelligence Prior to Jan. 6 Attack

A Senate report released on Tuesday reveals that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security ignored a "massive amount" of intelligence information leading up to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The report highlights how the agencies failed to recognize and act on warnings of potential violence, including a tip about the Proud Boys planning to "literally kill people." The intelligence community's failure to fully assess the severity of the threat and their inability to imagine the Capitol being breached were cited as major shortcomings. The report emphasizes the need for a reevaluation of domestic intelligence collection and dissemination processes. Both agencies have defended their actions and stated that changes have been made to strengthen intelligence analysis and information sharing.
