Senate Homeland Security Committee Report Finds Federal Law Enforcement Agencies Failed to Properly Analyze Intelligence Ahead of January 6 Attack on U.S. Capitol

Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee released a report accusing federal law enforcement agencies of failing to properly analyze intelligence that showed the potential for violence on January 6, 2021. The report found that the agencies had misjudged or misread the risks, and had issued warnings too slowly and passively, leading to a failure of imagination similar to the one described by the 9/11 Commission. The report also highlighted specific threats of violence and accused the FBI and DHS intelligence analysts of “finger pointing” in the aftermath of the tragedy.
