House of Reps SCRAPS Thursday session over militia plot to storm Capitol after QAnon theory Trump will be sworn in again

HOUSE OF FEAR

THE HOUSE canceled a Thursday session following threats of a militant group breaching the Capitol on the day QAnon fans believe former President Donald Trump will be reinstated.

Votes on legislation remaining for the week in the House were moved to Wednesday night, the Washington Post reported.

The decision came as security officials announced credible threats of violence linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory claiming that March 4 is the “true Inauguration Day” and that Trump will be sworn in.

US Capitol Police disclosed a “possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group” and sent notices to all congressional offices informing them that they were stepping up their presence on Capitol Hill, according to USA Today.

Capitol Police added: "We have already made significant security upgrades to include establishing a physical structure and increasing manpower to ensure the protection of Congress, the public and our police officers."

Among the legislation that the House will consider on Wednesday night instead of Thursday is a police reform bill named after George Floyd, who was fatally shot by a Minneapolis cop.

While the House scrapped its session, the Senate plans to continue with its meeting on Thursday.

The militant group was not named by security officials, but two sources told FOX 5 that it is the Three Percenters militia, which has members that were accused in the January 6 Capitol riot.

QAnon fans believe that Trump will carry on his war against the “deep state” on March 4.
