Jan. 18 (UPI) Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller on Monday said the thousands of National Guard troops who will provide security in Washington, D.C., for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden will be vetted for insider threats following the arrests of former and active duty military personnel who participated in the Capitol siege earlier this month.
In his first remarks on the Senate floor since the Capitol attack, Republican leader Mitch McConnell gave his most vocal condemnation yet of the violence that broke out two weeks ago and led to five deaths.
Federal prosecutors on Tuesday charged the leader of an anti-government militia group with conspiracy and obstruction of official proceedings stemming from the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol this month.
House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., declined Tuesday to take a stance on whether China is committing genocide against ethnic Uighur Muslims in the northwestern province of Xinjiang, telling "America Reports" that "I try to stay out of these foreign affairs matters."
