Tens of thousands of National Guard troops have been called to Washington, in the wake of last week’s attack on the Capitol, to protect next week’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. Hours before Pence’s impromptu meeting Thursday with the troops, the vice president took part in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) briefing on security precautions being implemented amid threats of violence to disrupt next week’s inauguration. Pence said he’s committed to "an orderly transition and to a safe inauguration."
