A staff report ordered by U.S. Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., into intelligence failures leading up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, found that federal agencies had “multiple tips from numerous sources” that violence was possible but didn’t take them seriously enough to prepare for the threat.
The report issued Tuesday by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s staff said the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security also failed to notify other law enforcement agencies about the potential for violence with “sufficient urgency and alarm.”
