Sena’s group hosted the call that day with representatives from the country’s 80 fusion centers because officials at NTIC were growing alarmed about information indicating Trump supporters could engage in violence on Jan. 6. On the call, they alerted officials around the country to the threats they feared would materialize on the day of the Electoral College certification. People from all over the U.S. were threatening to come to D.C. and engage in violence, they warned — including some who planned to bring guns and who indicated they were in militia groups.

NTIC “has a collection requirement for individuals stating their intent to violate DC weapons laws and/or commit acts of violence at the upcoming major events in DC,” Sena wrote in his email, indicating that officials there had formally decided they needed specific intelligence on people making such threats ahead of the Jan. 6 events.

Those who dialed in also discussed the possibility that the Jan. 6 protests could turn into a mass-casualty event, the call participant said. And they specifically talked about threats to the U.S. Capitol building, as well as to other state capitals.

Sena and an FBI spokesperson declined to comment. A spokesperson for the NTIC did not respond to a request for comment.

TFG wanted violence.
