In an email sent to all members of Congress, acting House Sergeant at Arms Timothy P. Blodgett warned of “new and concerning information and intelligence indicating additional interest in the Capitol for the dates of March 4 – 6 by a militia group.”
The alert obtained Wednesday marks the first notification of a multi-day security threat against Congress, based on intelligence reviewed by the U.S. Capitol Police.
“We do have some concerning intelligence,” acting U.S. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda D. Pittman told House members in a hearing Wednesday. “We have enhanced our security posture, and we’ve let the National Guard and our partners know what to expect tomorrow.”
Online chatter from QAnon supports the false notion that former President Donald Trump could still be inaugurated on March 4. The date represents a historic marker when U.S. presidents formerly took the oath of office, until Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s second term in January 1937. #WakeUpCLT
