NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Twelve National Guard members have been removed from the security operation at the U.S. Capitol due to fears of insider attacks.
Officials said Tuesday an FBI background check found they had ties to right wing militia groups, or posted extremist views online.
They added there was no threat to President-elect Joe Biden, who is set to be inaugurated on Wednesday.
The FBI is vetting all 25,000 National Guard troops deployed to Washington D.C.
