Extraordinary security measures are being taken in Washington, D.C., and across the country ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday.
With the potential threat of more violence this weekend, businesses in D.C. are boarding up, the National Mall is shut down and the Pentagon has authorized 25,000 troops for the inauguration.
A stepped up security presence is also assembling at state capitols nationwide. The FBI has warned of possible armed protests at all 50 state capitols.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a new intelligence briefing that domestic extremists pose the highest threat to Biden's inauguration, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News on Friday. Some extremists are motivated by the belief that Mr. Biden would be an illegitimate president, according to the bulletin.
It also mentions foreign adversaries amplifying disinformation in the run up to the January 20 inauguration and after the Capitol riots.

"Foreign adversaries" should be "adversary" in the singular.
They won't come flat out and say Russia.
I hope Putin and friends pay dearly for this.
