The FBI and the intelligence arm of the Department of Homeland Security failed to adequately assess the severity of threats leading up to Jan. 6 and, often, to formally alert others to the dangers ahead of time, according to a report released Tuesday by the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
"At a fundamental level, the agencies failed to fulfill their mission and connect the public and nonpublic information they received," the report states.
The Democratic-led Senate panel found that both the FBI and DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis "failed to issue sufficient warnings based on the available intelligence indicating January 6th might turn violent."
