The Latest on the fallout from the attack of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of pro-Trump loyalists (all times local):
1:15 p.m.
According to a report in The Washington Post, the FBI had warned that extremists were preparing to come to Washington, attack Congress and engage in war.
The report says the warning was issued internally by the FBIs field office in Norfolk, Virginia, a day before the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The warning directly contradicts statements from the Justice Department and FBI officials that they had no intelligence to suggest a storming of the Capitol.
The Post says the memo described how people had been sharing maps of the Capitols tunnels and discussing rallying points to meet up to travel to Washington. The newspaper reported that the document detailed posts calling for violence, including that Congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and Antifa slave soldiers being spilled.
It also said to go there ready for war.
The Associated Press has not obtained the document. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said the violence at the Capitol shows the need for the Senate to swiftly confirm Joe Bidens national security team on the first day of his administration.
Schumer said in a letter to colleagues that the deadly Capitol riot by a mob loyal to President Donald Trump last week was one of the darkest days in all of American history.
He said Biden will need key national security positions on Day One.
The Senate often confirms some nominees on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, but this year the Senate will also likely be convening Trumps impeachment trial. The House is set to impeach Trump this week on a sole charge of inciting insurrection in the violent riot.
Schumer wants the chamber to swiftly take up those nominees for secretary of defense, secretary of homeland security, secretary of state, attorney general, and others.
Schumer outlined the partys agenda, vowing to push ahead on Democratic priorities.

HERES WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON:
11:50 a.m.
A total of 15,000 National Guard members have now been activated and will deploy to Washington, D.C., to help provide security in the run up to the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
The number of Guard members coming in from other states has been growing, amid escalating fears of more violent protests in the wake of the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last week.
Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, was given the authority to tap up to 15,000 Guard, but he has said that requests for assistance from the Secret Service, the U.S. Park Police and the Capitol Police have been increasing this week.
The Army also said Tuesday that officials are working with the Secret Service to determine which Guard members may need additional background screening. Rep. Jason Crow, D-Co., had asked Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy to have the Armys Criminal Investigation Command screen Guard members coming in to ensure they were not sympathetic to domestic terrorists.
The Army said CID will not be reviewing all the Guard, but some members may be subject to additional background screening. Traditionally, those who get within close proximity to the president — or in this case the president-elect are checked more closely.
So far, officials said they have not yet identified any Guard members who participated in the protests, but investigations are ongoing.
In a statement, the Army said the D.C. National Guard is also giving troops additional training as they arrive in the city, so they know to identify and report any extremist behavior to their commanders.
The Army also said it is working with the FBI to identify people who participated in Capitol attack, adding, any type of activity that involves violence, civil disobedience, or a breach of peace may be punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice or under state or federal law.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is calling on the FBI to add anyone identified breaching the Capitol during last weeks violent riot to the federal no-fly list.
Schumer sent a letter Tuesday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, saying the attack on the Capitol as Congress was voting to affirm President-elect Joe Bidens win was domestic terrorism. He said those who stormed the Capitol should qualify as insurrectionists for the No-Fly List.
Schumer told Wray that they must also be fully prosecuted to the full extent of federal law. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press.
The federal no-fly list is part of the U.S. governments Terrorist Screening Database and prohibits anyone who may pose a threat to civil aviation or national security from boarding a commercial aircraft. Generally, in order to be placed on the list, the government must have information that the person presents a threat of committing terrorism to the aircraft or the U.S. homeland or U.S. facilities.
The no-fly list is one of the governments most controversial post-Sept. 11 counterterrorism programs.

President Donald Trump is taking no responsibility for his role in fomenting a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week.
A Capitol police officer died from injuries suffered in the riot, and police shot a woman during the violence. Three others died in what authorities said were medical emergencies.
Speaking to reporters before traveling to Texas on Tuesday, Trump says his remarks to supporters last week were totally appropriate.
Minutes before his supporters stormed the Capitol, Trump encouraged them to march on the seat of the nations government where lawmakers were tallying Electoral College votes affirming President-elect Joe Bidens victory. Trump, for months, had also spread baseless claims that the November election was fraudulent, despite his own administrations findings to the contrary.
As rioters were still in the Capitol, Trump released a video seemingly excusing the events, saying of the rioters: We love you. Youre very special.

President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday at the White House that the prospect of impeachment is causing tremendous anger in the nation. But he said he wants no violence.
The president spoke as he left for Texas to survey the border wall with Mexico. His remarks were his first to reporters since the Capitol attack.
On impeachment, Trump said its a really terrible thing that theyre doing. But he said, We want no violence. Never violence.
