First pardoned Jan. 6 rioters released in DC

Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee for FBI director, which is a non-partisan position, addressed Trump supporters at Capital One Arena ahead of his arrival.

"It's pretty cool to be speaking in Capital One Arena right before the boss," Patel said, as the crowd cheered.

"We are not only the beacon of hope, but we are the land of constitutional justice. We are the land under Donald J. Trump and JD Vance where we are going to end the two-tier system of justice. We are going to remove the weaponization of the intelligence community for political purposes, and we are going to put the men and women of America first."

Normally, the president and his entourage would walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House after taking the oath of office.

But because of frigid temperatures in Washington, the events have been moved indoors to Capital One Arena.

The venue has the capacity to hold roughly 20,000 people. A desk has been set up on stage for Trump to sign some of the first executive orders of his administration.

Brian Driscoll has been named acting director of the FBI by the incoming administration, days after Driscoll was tapped as the new head of the FBI’s Newark field office.

FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate resigned this morning, as did most of the executive staff, according to sources.
