The United States could face a heightened threat of domestic extremist violence for weeks from people angry at Donald Trump’s election defeat and inspired by the deadly storming of the US Capitol, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned on Wednesday.

The advisory comes as Washington remains on high alert after Trump supporters occupied the US Capitol on January 6 as Congress was formally certifying President Joe Biden’s election victory. Five died in the violence.

The campaign will keep a rolling list of former Trump administration officials and track their career moves following their exits from the White House.
The campaign’s website features a section entitled The Trump administration’s greatest transgressions, including the alleged complicity of officials in inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, the administration’s controversial family separation policy at the border, and its failed response to the coronavirus pandemic.
