As Washington, D.C., gears up for President Donald Trump’s Inauguration next Monday, federal and local authorities are making bold claims of readiness. The FBI asserts they are not tracking any “specific or credible threats” to the event.
However, given the politically charged climate and past security lapses, many are questioning whether the nation’s capital is truly prepared for potential unrest.
Special Agent in Charge William McCool of the Secret Service, overseeing the security efforts for President Trump’s inauguration, announced that 25,000 law enforcement and military personnel will be present to ensure the event’s safety.
The highly partisan US Capitol Police will participate in security at the US Capitol during the Inaugural next Monday.
Typical cop. Give them an inch and they will take a mile.
