Report: 2 National Guard members removed from inauguration detail for militia ties

Two U.S. Army National Guard members have been removed from the security detail for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration after the troops deployed to Washington D.C. were vetted for extremist ideologies. 

The Associated Press reports that the two National Guard members were found to have ties to "fringe right-group militias," according to U.S. Army and intelligence officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. 

There is no plot against Biden or members of Congress reported. 

Reached for comment by the AP, the National Guard Bureau referred reporters to the U.S. Secret Service, which said, "Due to operational security, we do not discuss the process nor the outcome of the vetting process for military members supporting the inauguration."
