Trump supporters planning to ‘storm’ government buildings across the US in armed protests, FBI warns
People listen as President Donald Trump speaks during a rally in Washington last week

SUPPORTERS of outgoing US President Donald Trump are planning armed protests and attempts to “storm” government buildings in states across the country, the FBI warned today.

An internal FBI bulletin obtained by US media warned that armed groups intend to travel to Washington DC this week in the hope of repeating last week’s riot on Capitol Hill.

“Armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols from January 16 through at least January 20 and at the US Capitol from January 17 through January 20,” the bulletin reportedly says.
