Journalist and former CBS News executive producer Zev Shalev claimed on Sunday that top Pentagon officials "likely knew" about the Capitol riot on January 6 that many have deemed an insurrection.
"The Secret Service knew, some of the U.S. Capitol police knew, and the Pentagon top brass likely knew," he tweeted.
"If it walks like a coup and talks like s coup - it may well have been an attempted coup."
Shalev's comment was a response to a CNN report that revealed additional claims pertaining to the events that took place on January 6.
