The United States Capitol Police and the Sergeant at Arms office said they would coordinate with other law enforcement agencies, including the US Marshals Service to ensure their safety.

In addition, through the January 20 inauguration, Capitol Police officers will be stationed at the three main airports in the Washington, DC area: Reagan National Airport (DCA), Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) and Washington International Airport Dulles (IAD).

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a close ally of President Donald Trump who criticized the president this week, was confronted and criticized by Trump supporters at Reagan National Airport, according to videos posted on social media on Friday.

“You traitor,” a woman yells at the senator in a video as he walks through one of the airport terminals in the Washington, DC area. “Lindsey Graham, you are a traitor to the country.”

Utah Senator Mitt Romney was also harassed by pro-Trump supporters on a flight from Salt Lake City to Washington, DC, before Wednesday’s protests.

CNN contacted the US Capitol Police for comment.

This is a last-minute story and will be updated.
