WASHINGTON - The acting chief of the U.S. Capitol Police warned lawmakers Thursday that militia members involved in the Jan. 6 riot "want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible" during President Joe Biden's first congressional address.
The stark warning about another potential threat to Congress - which has not been corroborated by other law enforcement agencies - comes as a date for Biden's first address on Capitol Hill has not been set. New presidents typically deliver a speech to a joint session of Congress in February.
