FBI Director Chris Wray on Thursday said the bureau was monitoring an “extensive amount of concerning online chatter” related to potential threats leading up to the presidential inauguration on Jan. 20.
Wray gave the update during a security briefing for Vice President Mike Pence as part of preparations for the upcoming inauguration of President-Election Joe Biden. This comes amid growing concerns that the civil unrest and violence observed on Jan. 6 may repeat next week.
