Capitol Siege

The FBI properly shared the intelligence it gathered before the Jan. 6, 2021 riots with relevant law enforcement agencies, but made some missteps that may have hampered preparations for the violent and chaotic attack on the U.S. Capitol that day, according to a report released Thursday from the Justice Department’s inspector general.

President-elect Donald Trump, in his first post-election TV interview, promised a confrontational return to the White House, saying he would like to see many of those who investigated him jailed, including lawmakers who led an inquiry into his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday sought permission from U.S. courts to abandon the two federal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, likely putting an end to two lengthy and historic investigations that never made it to trial.

A Kentucky man who authorities assert was the first rioter to breach the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection and “helped light the fire” to try to overturn the election of Joe Biden as president was sentenced Tuesday to more than four years in prison.

Former President Donald Trump plans to host a Jan. 6 event at his New Jersey golf club next month to celebrate the criminals convicted for their involvement in the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. 

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected the most severe charges lodged against more than 300 of the violent insurrectionists who broke into the Capitol three years ago. 

It’s been 3 1/2 years since thousands of people marched from a rally by then-President Donald Trump to the U.S. Capitol, where many of them stayed for hours, fighting with police and parading through the building, delaying the certification of the presidential election and forcing members of Congress to flee.

The Supreme Court cast doubt Tuesday on the legality of obstruction charges lodged against some 300 rioters arrested for breaking into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

A Kentucky man who was labeled as the first person to breach the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection has been found guilty by a federal jury for his actions during the riot, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
