warnings about a March 4 attack !!

US officials on Wednesday alerted lawmakers to a potential threat against the US Capitol on March 4, for which security has been enhanced as a precaution, less than two months after the Capitol complex was stormed and lawmakers' lives were threatened by rioters.

The House changed its voting schedule in light of Capitol Police warning about the security risks, deciding to hold a vote on a police reform billWednesday night rather than Thursday as planned.

Information provided by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security warned of increased talk among extremists, including members of the Three Percenters extremist group, discussing possible plots against the Capitol on March 4, a date that conspiracy theorists have focused on, according to sources familiar with the matter.

US Capitol Police issued a statement today saying it obtained intelligence of a "possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4."

The department said it is "aware of and prepared for any potential threats towards members of Congress or towards the Capitol complex" and that it has made "significant security upgrades," including adding a physical structure and more manpower.
