National Guard troops moved a mob of Trump supporters from the U.S. Capitol grounds in Washington on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, after the mob stormed the Capitol.
FBI officials in Virginia wrote a stark warning the day before a mob attacked the Capitol last week, raising alarms about the threat of violence, according to a law enforcement official.
The report was produced Jan. 5 by the FBI's Norfolk office in southern Virginia and sent to the bureau's Washington Field Office, where it was passed on to other law enforcement agencies, the official said. It was not clear which agencies received it.
The report mentioned people sharing a map of tunnels at the Capitol complex and possible meetup points in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and South Carolina before traveling to Washington, according to The Washington Post, which first reported on the FBI document.
