Capitol Police informed of the possibility of violence before riot

Senior law enforcement officials have said that the NYPD and FBI informed Capitol Police of the possibility of violence before the deadly riot in Washington DC took place, NBC News reports.

“Prior to this event, the FBI obtained credible and actionable information about individuals who were planning on traveling to the protests who expressed a desire to engage in violence,” said the official. “The FBI was able to discourage those individuals from traveling to D.C.”

NYPD also sent out information to police departments across the country, including Capitol Police, describing threats made online leading up to Jan 6.

The report contradicts previous claims by FBI officials earlier this week that they had no expectations of a violent riot occurring at the Capitol.

J Edgar Hoover with personal secretary – right

WASHINGTON (AP) — An assistant FBI director retired after he was accused of drunkenly groping a female subordinate in a stairwell. Another senior FBI official left after he was found to have sexually harassed eight employees. Yet another high-ranking FBI agent retired after he was accused of blackmailing a young employee into sexual encounters.

An Associated Press investigation has identified at least six sexual misconduct allegations involving senior FBI officials over the past five years, including two new claims brought this week by women who say they were sexually assaulted by ranking agents.
