The Army National Guard has removed 12 members from their role in President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration security, according to National Guard Bureau Chief Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson. Two individuals were flagged for “inappropriate comments or texts” – one identified through their chain of command and another through anonymous reporting – while an additional 10 were identified by the FBI through “standard” vetting done on participants before all inaugurations, Hokanson told reporters on Tuesday.

Two Army National Guard members were removed Tuesday from the security operation to secure President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration after they were found to have ties to fringe right group militias, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. No plot against Biden was uncovered.

Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller said in a statement there was “no intelligence indicating an insider threat” from the National Guard after some reports and at least one Democrat lawmaker suggested that National Guard members securing the inauguration could pose such a threat. He also confirmed reports that National Guard members were being vetted, but portrayed it as somewhat normal for large security events.

The "virtual" inauguration for Joe Biden on Wednesday will be anything but normal. Already, 25,000 National Guard troops have been dispatched to Washington, D.C., in response to the Jan. 6 riot. On Monday, an inauguration rehearsal was interrupted because of a fire in a nearby homeless camp. Now, a House Democrat from Tennessee, Rep. Steve Cohen, is expressing distrust of the Guard troops. "The Guard is 90-some-odd percent, I believe, male. Only about 20% of white males voted for Biden," Cohen told CNN. "You gotta figure that in the Guard, which is predominantly more conservative, and I see that on...

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – It’s an unusual sight to see in downtown Sacramento with the California National Guard set up for the next several days ahead of any potential unrest. Tanks and troops are scattered all around the area to protect government buildings. “I’ve never seen the Capitol with this level of security before,” said Timothy Dellavan. To him, the number of military mixed in among the ordinary was significant. Saturday was the first day 1,000 California national guardsmen deployed around the capital city. “It feels weird, it’s definitely uncommon,” said Mike Juliano, who walked around the downtown area in awe.

FBI Special Agents arrested Daniel Alan Baker, 33, over an alleged plot to rally like-minded individuals to violently confront protesters on Sunday at the Florida Capitol. Baker claimed to have fought in Syria against ISIS and the Turkish government, according to a federal complaint.

The dramatic escalation in authorities granted to the 20,000 Guard troops stationed in D.C. is only the latest response to last week’s massive security failure. THE 20,000 NATIONAL Guard troops preparing for pro-Trump demonstrations this weekend in the nation's capital will be armed and permitted to use lethal force, the headquarters overseeing them says, marking a striking escalation in the way authorities there are preparing for repeat violence after last week's deadly mob. "On January 12, 2021, National Guardsmen were given authorization to be armed in support of the U.S. Capitol Police to protect the U.S. Capitol and individual members...

What did Nancy Pelosi know? A prior plot or spontaneous riot? Were there inside facilitators? One thing recent history has taught America is the first storyline of major tragedies or controversies is never the most accurate. Americans were told by the Bush administration that they were sucker-punched by a surprise attack on 9/11 by terrorists, only to learn the CIA and FBI had significant advance evidence of the plot and its players and failed to connect the dots. Susan Rice originally told the nation that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was carried out spontaneously by a mob...

Washington (CNN) — Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday urged Americans to avoid the city during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week and to participate virtually following last week's deadly domestic terror attack on the US Capitol. Meanwhile, the National Guard has plans to have up to 15,000 National Guard troops to meet current and future requests for the inauguration, Gen.

National Guard be placed on standby in case he needed quick backup.But, Sund said Sunday, they turned him down.In his first interview since pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, Sund,...

Remember when I told you, "President Trump... [is] playing fifty games of 4-D chess"? Well, now he is the chess piece, the most treasured, protected and beloved chess piece in the history of the world. What do you do with a chess piece? You move it around. A lot. We were told he was in Abilene, TX immediately after the drama at the Capitol during the Save America Rally. Then they innocently announced he intended to weekend at Camp David. Naturally, that didn't happen! Then he was said to be at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. Take another look at his...
