Dozens of troops preparing for Joe Biden’s Inauguration were pictured napping on marble floors in the halls of Congress as Washington, D.C., remains on high alert after the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol.

Congressional reporters snapped photos of hundreds of troops early on Wednesday morning with their firearms and riot gear nearby while others were standing guard. One reporter for the Daily Telegraph captured the troops resting, “guns by their sides, under the busts of Lincoln and Washington.”
