WASHINGTON - The U.S. Justice Department’s internal watchdog will review how the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies prepared and responded to the storming of the U.S. Capitol by President Donald Trump’s supporters, Inspector General Michael Horowitz said on Friday.

The review comes after many media outlets, including Reuters, reported that the FBI office in Norfolk, Virginia, circulated a bulletin a day before the events at the Capitol warning that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and “war.” At the same time, however, d’Antuono said the FBI could not take action based on mere social media chatter, due to First Amendment guarantees of free speech.

In some videos posted on social media, police also appeared to be overly friendly with rioters, with one even taking a selfie with people as they illegally entered the building. Some of the court filings have offered a window into questionable behavior or a lack of preparedness by law enforcement.
