Rep. Lisa McClain said she hasn’t been given a briefing by the speaker or congressional leaders about any imminent threats. Three GOP officials from Michigan -- including McClain -- still voted to object to election results after the insurrection that killed six people. National Guard troops are expected to stay in D.C. through March.

DOJ, FBI review draft on surveillance and Trump campaign report
Read full article: DOJ, FBI review draft on surveillance and Trump campaign reportWASHINGTON (CNN) - The Justice Department and FBI are reviewing a draft of the long-awaited report on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court applications regarding the Trump campaign, the department's inspector general said Friday. The inspector general has been investigating since early 2018 the handling of four applications that let American intelligence eavesdrop on Carter Page in 2016 and 2017 after he left the Trump campaign. Horowitz noted that the report contained classified material, and that once he receives the draft back from DOJ and FBI, his office would prepare the report for release, "ensuring that appropriate reviews occur for accuracy and comment purposes." Horowitz's review is one of several probes into the origins of the Russia investigation. He told CNN this week that he expected to call Horowitz to testify after his report was released, and he also might bring in former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos to testify.
