The FBI is examining how to improve its sourcing after failing to detect the potential for large-scale mayhem before the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol, the bureau’s director said on Aug. 4.
While the FBI did put out various intelligence documents warning about the prospect of politically-motivated violence before the breach, “it is also the reality that we did not, I think, have any specific credible intelligence that point to thousands of people breaching the capital,” Director Christopher Wray said.
