Watchdog to probe DOJ response to Capitol riot

The U.S. Justice Department's internal watchdog will review how the FBI and other law enforcement agencies prepared and responded to the storming of the U.S. Capitol by President Donald Trump's supporters, Inspector General Michael Horowitz said on Friday.

This report produced by Colette Luke.

More than a week after a mob of pro-Trump supporters rampaged through the Capitol - investigators are trying to determine what led to such a colosal security failure.

The U.S. Justice Department's internal watchdog on Friday said it would review how the FBI and other law enforcement agencies prepared and responded to the storming of the U.S. Capitol by President Donald Trump's supporters, thatā€™s according to Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

The inquiry will be coordinated with other federal agencies whose law enforcement arms were also involved in responding to the Jan.

6 assault, including the Defense Department, Department of Homeland Security and Department of the Interior.

The Capitol Police have come under scrutiny for being ill-prepared to deal with the throngs of Trump supporters who stormed the building last week.

In some videos posted on social media, police also appeared to be overly-friendly with rioters, with one even taking a selfie with people as they illegally entered the building.

Some of the court filings have offered a window into questionable behavior or a lack of preparedness by law enforcement.

In one case, suspects told the FBI they were greeted with a welcome and a hug by a police officer upon entering the Capitol.

In another case, prosecutors wrote that one officer was left to single-handedly confront a group of 25 rioters on the Senate floor.

The officer asked to borrow a bullhorn from one of them so he could ask the crowd to leave.

The review by the DOJ comes after Reuters and other media outlets reported that the FBI office in Norfolk, Virginia circulated a bulletin a day before the events at the Capitol warning that extremists were preparing to travel to

Class="kln">Washington to commit violence and "war." A law enforcement source who spoke anonymously to Reuters said the bulletin was widely circulated among law enforcement agencies, but it was considered to be "raw open source" material, meaning it was not validated by the FBI or other government investigators.

All of this comes as the nation's capital and cities across the country ramp up security ahead of U.S. President-Elect Joe Biden's inauguration.

Officials have warned of plans for armed protests in Washington and all 50 states, with some saying the threat could remain well beyond the inauguration

The plans can now only be renewed for up to four months instead of three years that were permitted under former President Donald Trump. . Additionally, short-term plan providers must clearly explain benefit limitations to consumers. . The president really believes the American people do not want to be taken for suckers and junk insurance takes them for suckers, Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, via statement. Short-term insurance is intended to temporarily serve as a safety net for periods of transition, such as switching jobs or prior to receiving Medicare. However, critics call these plans "junk insurance" because they're often misleading as far as what they actually cover. ABC News reports that the plans aren't required to cover those with preexisting conditions or pay for prescription drugs. In 2018, Trump expanded short-term plans and referred to them as "much less expensive health care at a much lower price.". Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, said that Trump undermined the Affordable Care Act (ACA) when he allowed insurance companies to sell inadequate short-term plans.
