At least 25 domestic terrorism cases have been opened as a result of Wednesday's assault on the US Capitol by supporters of US President Donald Trump, US Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told a Democratic lawmaker on Sunday.
Representative Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger and member of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, said McCarthy also told him the Pentagon was aware of "further possible threats posed by would-be terrorists" in the days up to and including the inauguration of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden on January 20.
Separately, the Justice Department said it had charged two more people in connection with Wednesday's events.
