Capitol Hill Riots

The U.S. Capitol Police asked the Defense Department to keep thousands of troops in D.C. for up to two more months.

In all, some 26,000 National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C., to support President Joe Biden's inauguration.

Capitol Police made the request a day after the agency announced it had uncovered a plot to attack the U.S. Capitol.

Maj. Gen. Walker told a Senate committee that he could have sent Guard members to support law enforcement hours earlier.

The Pentagon is looking for a new way to screen social media as part of its background check process.

Lawmakers grilled security officials Tuesday over their failure to defend the U.S. Capitol from a mob of insurrectionists.

Leaders remain concerned that extremist groups are actively working to recruit those about to join the military.

The military-to-civilian ratio among the mob actually outpaces that of veterans in Congress, but just barely.

Much of the organization for the protest that preceded the Capitol attack occurred on social media.

Last year was an unprecedented year for domestic deployments of the National Guard.
