The acting chief of the U.S. Capitol Police told members of Congress on Thursday that while they knew armed extremists could commit violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, intelligence collected in advance of the assault showed “no credible threat” of the size and scale of the riot that occurred.
Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman said in her opening statement that her department prepared for that day’s events based on the information gathered by law enforcement, including the FBI and the intelligence community.
