Supporters of Donald Trump are planning armed protests in all 50 State Capitol, including the U.S. Capitol starting this week through inauguration day, according to an FBI memo obtained by ABC News.
Some of the protesters are calling for Trump supporters to storm state, local and federal government courthouses and administrative buildings if Donald Trump is removed from office before inauguration through impeachment or by the 25th Amendment.

“The FBI received information about an identified armed group intending to travel to Washington, DC on 16 January,” the bulletin read according to ABC. “They have warned that if Congress attempts to remove POTUS via the 25th Amendment, a huge uprising will occur.”
House Democrats tried on Monday to push Vice-President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment but that effort was blocked by GOP Rep. Alex Mooney of West Virginia. House Democrats then introduced an article of impeachment against Trump that charges him with “incitement of insurrection”.
