Trump made a fateful choice in the early morning hours of Dec. 19, 2020, days after the Electoral College voted, to choose a path that led to the insurrection on Jan. 6.

The committee showed video clips and text messages to demonstrate how far-right groups were emboldened by Trump's false claims about the 2020 election.

Aides to the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol said the next hearing would focus on extremist groups and their possible links to Trump and his allies.

Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio and four other members were federally charged earlier this month with conspiring to overthrow the government by attacking the Capitol in the Jan. 6 riots.

Enrique Tarrio may not have physically taken part on the Jan. 6 breach, but the Justice Department has charged him for allegedly leading the advance planning and taking credit for it on social media.

The District of Columbia is seeking damages from the two far-right groups for allegedly conspiring to terrorize the city with the violent attack on Jan. 6.

Rittenhouse faces multiple felony charges of homicide and recklessly endangering the safety of others, along with one misdemeanor count of possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor.

One year ago Donald Trump infamously said of the far-right Proud Boys, "stand back and stand by." Some members are now in jail, but the once-fringe group hasn't gone away.

The lawyer for Kernersville resident Charles Donohoe says there is no evidence that he played a primary role in organizing the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. 

Federal prosecutors believe a Kernersville man played a primary role in organizing the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
