The FBI is warning of the possibility of armed protests being held across the US in the days before Joe Biden is sworn in as president.
There are reports of armed groups planning to gather at all 50 state capitols and in Washington DC in the run-up to his 20 January inauguration.
The fears come as security plans are hardened for the event itself.
On Monday, Mr Biden told reporters he was not afraid to take the oath of office outside of the US Capitol.
Security has been stepped up at the US Capitol following deadly violence last week
Officials say up to 15,000 National Guard troops could be made available to fortify the event.
The announcement came after Washington DC's Mayor, Ms Bowser, went public with her appeal to bolster security after what she described as an "unprecedented terrorist attack" at the US Capitol last week.
