U.S. security officials say they are taking every precaution to guard against an attack on President-elect Joe Biden s inauguration Wednesday on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, including FBI security screening of the 25,000 members of the National Guard assigned to Washington to protect the event. While we have no intelligence indicating an insider threat, we are leaving no stone unturned in securing the capital, acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller said in a statement. He said the troops are being given extra training as they arrive in Washington and told that if they see or hear something that is not appropriate, they should report it to their chain of command.
