Biden: 'I'm not afraid to take the oath outside'

President-elect Joe Biden said on Monday that he is not afraid of being sworn in as president on the west front of the Capitol, one week after it was breached by a pro-Trump mob.
“I am not afraid to take the oath outside, and we've been getting briefed," Biden told reporters moments after receiving his second dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
Security concerns have grown about the inauguration on Jan. 20 in the wake of last week's riot and amid reports that armed extremists are talking about taking actions.
The FBI warned in a memo on Monday that an armed group has threatened to come to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 16 and stage an uprising if Trump is removed from office before Biden's inauguration.
Additionally, the agency has warned of similar threats in all 50 state capitol buildings on Jan. 16.
