Officials are reportedly concerned about an attack from “an insider” during the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
The Associated Press also used the phrase “other threats from service members involved in securing” the inauguration.
The FBI has now started to work on vetting every member of the National Guard who will be arriving in Washington DC ahead of the event.
Speaking with Fox News on Sunday Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy stated that officials are conscious of this potential threat.
McCarthy and other leaders have not found any evidence of such threats. Several officials have said publicly that they had not found any problems.
