BREAKING: Capitol Police Was Gathering Data About Plots To Breach Capitol As Early As December

Last December, the Capitol Police intelligence division began gathering data from social media about plots to breach the Capitol, as well as specific calls for violence on Jan. 6 and maps of the building's tunnel systems, a new Senate report finds.

Why it matters: The scope of these threats was not relayed to USCP leadership, rank-and-file officers, or federal law enforcement agencies. As a result, all were unprepared for the worst attack since the War of 1812, the 127-page document reveals.

The joint report did not attempt to examine the origins and motivations of the people who participated in the attack.
