Nearly two and a half years after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Senate Democrats are criticizing intelligence agencies for failing to "accurately assess the severity of the threat identified" and work with law enforcement to prepare for the violence.
Although public reporting and primetime congressional investigations have already shown intelligence agencies received tips about plans for violence on Jan. 6, the report by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's majority staff adds new information about the extent of those warnings, and alleges the agencies both downplayed the threat level and didn't share the intelligence effectively with law enforcement.
