The Department of Homeland Security didn't share intelligence with other law enforcement agencies until two days after the Capitol riot
Despite the Department of Homeland Security identifying specific, credible threats of violence before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, it waited two daysthe riot to share that intelligence with other law enforcement agencies, the department’s inspector general said in a report Tuesday. Instead, the department shared some general threat information with local Washington, D.C.
law enforcement, preventing other local, state, and national agencies from getting “timely, actionable and predictive intelligence.” According to CNN, the department was hesitant to share its intelligence after it erroneously collected data on journalists during the 2020 protests in Portland.
