Gaetz and Jordan Demand Answers from FBI Director Wray
After grilling FBI Director Chris Wray five days ago on whether the FBI engaged in a cover-up related to the origins of the coronavirus, on June 15, 2021, Congressman Matt Gaetz sent a letter to Wray seeking answers and clarification on critical questions related to the events at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Referencing a June 8th joint report from the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Rules Committee, Gaetz’s letter states the report highlights multiple problems, including “federal intelligence agencies failing to warn of a potential for violence, to a lack of planning and preparation by U.S. Capitol Police and law enforcement leadership.”
The 95-page report addresses the security, planning, and response failures of the entities directly responsible for Capitol security. Specifically, the United States Capitol Police (USCP) and the Capitol Police Board, which is comprised of the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol as voting members, and the USCP Chief as a non-voting member. The report also focuses on critical breakdowns involving numerous federal agencies, particularly the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Department of Defense (DOD).
The Executive Summary of the report concludes that, despite being aware of threats, neither the DHS nor the FBI issued formal intelligence bulletins about the potential for violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, which hindered law enforcement’s preparations for the Joint Session of Congress. It also determined that neither agency considered online posts calling for violence at the Capitol as credible.
