The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to adequately assess and warn law enforcement agencies about the level of threat the Capitol faced on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a new Senate report.
The report (pdf), drafted by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, details how the FBI and DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis failed to “fully and accurately assess the severity” of the event despite receiving multiple tips in the days and weeks leading up to the breach.
