The same kind of major support from gop lawmakers as we saw on january 6. In fact, new cnn reporting reveals republicans are trying to distance themselves from the event. No sitting member of congress is scheduled to appear. A former trump campaign staffer organized the event and despite concerns that attendees could be armed he said that will not be the case. We ve got a largely peaceful crowd. We ve had two events in washington, d. C. So far at the department of justice and the prison and there have been to incidents so far. No one is going to be bringing a weapon that is part of our crowd. Coy assure the police that. Witty wild joining us live from washington.

Very quickly after the attack. It s ended up staying up until july. That fence was unsettling for a lot of people. It was a profound change in what the cws government looks like, for one, and what it feels like to be in washington, d. C. It s fair to say there was relief when the fencing finally came down in july, but as of right now, as of just this hour, these are live images here, it s going back up. Nobody expects it will be up for months on end again. But it is going up as of tonight because of a saturday event, an event planned for this weekend in which trump supporters are saying they are going to converge on the capitol led by a former trump campaign official and their convergence on the capitol this weekend is explicitly organized around them celebrating the january 6th attack and denouncing the arrests and prosecution of the people who participated in it.

Senator said you won t remember the hours you spent here but yo
Process that all requests for assistance of the department. We re analyzing it and if it can be validated and supported, we ll do that and, you know, we ll look at the sourcing inside the department as to what s most appropriate. Local officials in washington, d. C. , are also on high alert for this coming weekend. All city police officers will be on duty. All leaves canceled. Assistance has been requested from police officers in surrounding areas. There s an nbc news report tonight that only 700 people are expected to attend the rally, but nobody knows really. The insurrection enthusiasts have been whipped up into thinking that the 16 rioters who have been rounded up and jailed are somehow freedom fighters now. The rally s organizer a former trump campaign operative and pusher of the big lie who says this will not be a repeat of january 6th. We ve got a largely peaceful crowd.
