All 50 US States On Alert For Armed Protests Today
All 50 US states are on alert for possible violent protests this weekend ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration this week, January 20.
Jan. 17 - Following a warning from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that armed marches in support of Donald Trump could take place at all state Capitols, National Guard troops have been deployed across Washington DC to deter possible riots.
Posts on pro-Trump and far-right online networks have called for protests on a number of dates, with today, January 17, being one of them.
The groups are also said to be planning a march in Washington DC on January 20, inauguration day itself, BBC News reports.
However, some supporters have urged others not to attend, citing heavy security and claims that the planned events are ‘police traps’.
One internal FBI bulletin, which was seen by ABC News, warned that one group has called for ‘storming’ state, local and federal courthouses across the US on the day Biden takes office.
Ahead of January 20, much of Washington DC will be placed in lockdown and National Guard troops will be deployed in their thousands.
Already, many streets have been blocked off with concrete barriers and metal fences. At the request of the Secret Service, the National Mall, which is usually jam-packed with people for inaugurations, has been shut. continue to rad

Rudy Giuliani's impeachment trial claim denied by Trump campaign
Jan. 18 - It seems the rift between President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani is growing, with a recent miscommunication between the pair leaving Giuliani in an awkward position.
On Saturday, Giuliani told ABC News he would be working as part of Trump's defence team for his upcoming impeachment trial.
Trump recently became the first President in US history to be impeached twice, following claims he incited the riot at the Capitol earlier this month that led to five deaths.
"I'm involved right now … that's what I'm working on," Giuliani told the publication.
He said the President's defence would likely include allegations of widespread voter fraud, despite these claims being repeatedly rejected.
"They basically claimed that anytime (Trump) says voter fraud, or I do, or anybody else, we're inciting to violence; that those words are fighting words because it's totally untrue," Giuliani said.
"Well, if you can prove that it's true, or at least true enough so it's a legitimate viewpoint, then they are no longer fighting words."
However, just hours later Trump campaign spokesperson J. Hogan Gidley released a statement that completely contradicted Giuliani's comments. continue to read
