Pentagon: There are no indications of internal threat before Biden’s inauguration

SANAA, Jan. 19 (YPA) – The Pentagon confirmed that the FBI is assisting the military in vetting more than 25,000 National Guard troops deployed to protect the Capitol during the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

Acting US Defense Secretary Christopher Miller said in a statement on Monday that auditing is “normal for military support participating in major security events … and while we do not have intelligence information indicating an internal threat, we will spare no effort in securing the capital.”

After the attack by President Donald Trump’s supporters on the Congress building on January 6, which killed five people and forced members of Congress to go into hiding, the US government imposed unprecedented security measures around the Capitol building, including the erection of impenetrable fences with barbed wire and a large security area not allowed For the public to enter it.
