The Department of Homeland Security warned Thursday about the potential for violence from people involved in or opposed to the "Justice for J6" rally planned for Saturday in Washington, according to an unclassified intelligence briefing that was shared with state and local authorities and obtained by CNN.

The memo also warned of potential violence on the day before the rally. "We are aware of a small number of recent online threats of violence referencing the planned rally, including online discussions encouraging violence the day before the rally," the brief from the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis says.

And at times it seemed to put the FDA's independence at odds with a White House team eager to appear to be out ahead of an unpredictable pandemic. Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Dr. Leana Wen talk about what to expect.
