Extremists are calling on Trump supporters to “storm” the U.S. Capitol again and stage “armed protests” at state government buildings across the country — including in New York — in the lead-up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to the FBI.
An internal FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News warns that the armed actions are being planned “at all 50 state capitols” between Jan. 16 and Jan. 20. The U.S. Capitol, which is under tight security since Wednesday’s deadly pro-Trump attack, faces threats of more armed protests starting Jan. 17 through Inauguration Day, according to the bulletin.
A far-right group that was not identified by name in the bulletin has reportedly called for a particularly violent “storming” of federal and state government buildings in the event that President Trump is removed from office before Biden’s inauguration, amid growing momentum on Capitol Hill for impeachment or an invocation of the 25th Amendment.
“They have warned that if Congress attempts to remove POTUS via the 25th Amendment, a huge uprising will occur,” the bulletin reportedly states.
