The Capitol Police and other federal entities fell short of consistently sharing threat information in the lead-up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a federal watchdog said in a report released Tuesday.
The Government Accountability Office report states Capitol Police did identify potential violence, but the agency failed to internally share pertinent threat information throughout the agency, which led to “some officers, agents and intelligence staff not having complete information.”
“Capitol Police did not include all relevant threat information from other agencies in its threat products developed for January 6,” according to the report.
