A new report has sparked fresh outrage after it was revealed dozens of rioters who participated in the carnage were already on an FBI terrorist watch list by the time the riots took place.

The new information comes after it was found that a January 5 FBI report had warned that pro-Trump insurrectionists were planning to wage a "war" at the US Capitol the next day.&nbsp;

The revelation follows a Washington Post report earlier this week detailing the FBI’s failure to act aggressively on an internal intelligence report of internet discussions about plans to attack Congress, smash windows, break down doors and “get violent … go there ready for war.”

According to the FBI’s website, the watch list is a “single database that contains sensitive national security and law enforcement information concerning the identities of those who are known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activities” and is run by the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Centre, which was established after the September 11 attacks.

Meanwhile, Trump has became the only president in US history to be impeached twice after the House of Representatives brought forth an article of impeachment against him on a charge of "incitement of insurrection."&nbsp;

The riots last week have brought into sharp focus the potential dangers that lawmakers and, potentially, the next president, face from supporters of Trump, who has continued to falsely claim that he, not Biden, won the election.

Trump and his aides have been consistently making unsubstantiated claims of election frauds ever since it was clear that he was to leave office to make way for Joe Biden. Trump campaign has presented no evidence and has suffered defeats in courts across the US including in US Supreme Court.

Dozens on FBI terrorist watch list came to Washington DC on day of riots

Democrat lawmaker Mikie Sherrill said on Tuesday that she saw colleagues escorting people through the Capitol on Jan 05, what she described as "reconnaissance" ahead of the next day's violent rebellion that left five dead.

Startling claim by Democrat Mikie Sherrill, "Mob given 'recon' tours day before Capitol riots"

In yet another defense, current US President Donald Trump said that his speech before Capitol Hill violence was "totally appropriate". He was speaking with reporters before flying to Texas in order to inspect border wall with Texas. The violence at Capitol Hill saw 5 deaths and dozens of injuries.&nbsp;

"They've analyzed my speech in my words and my final paragraph, my final sentence, and everybody to the tee just thought it was totally appropriate," said Trump on Tuesday.

On January 6, Donald Trump addressed a huge crowd of supporters in Washington DC and made unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud in US Presidential elections 2020. During his speech, he implored his supporters to "walk down to Capitol" just when the US Congress was meeting to certify Joe Biden's victory in elections.

"We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength,"
