The House of Representatives cancelled Thursday's session following intelligence report that extremists planned to attack the Capitol buildings on March 4, a date that conspiracy theorists say former President Donald Trump will return to the White House.
The House voted on a police reform bill Wednesday night ahead of its scheduled voting Thursday after Capitol Police said it obtained intelligence of a "possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4." "We are taking the intelligence seriously. We have already made significant security upgrades to include establishing a physical structure and increasing manpower to ensure the protection of Congress, the public and our police officers," they added in a statement.
