The Trump Administration Was Aware of Violent Rhetoric on the Joint Session of Congress on January 6th

The day before the joint session, on January 5th, Secret Service was aware of increased chatter focused on Vice President Pence. On the morning of the 6th, agents received alerts of online threats that Vice President Pence would be, quote, a dead man walking if he doesn't do the right thing. The anger reflected in these postings was obvious the man at the center of the storm on January 6th, President Trump.
