Extremism

Fueling the Jan. 6 insurrection was the "Big Lie" that Donald Trump won the election. One year later, many warn that lie has metastasized and now poses an even graver threat to American democracy.

The judge said she wanted to make clear with the sentence that "trying to stop the peaceful transition of power and assaulting law enforcement officers is going to be met with certain punishment."

In the messages, Donald Trump Jr. and Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity urge Meadows to get then-President Donald Trump to tell his supporters to leave the Capitol.

As the U.S. heads into midterm elections next year, the political right and the anti-vaccine movement are drawing ever-closer together — potentially at the cost of thousands of American lives.

The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has issued five new subpoenas for witnesses lawmakers want to hear from, in addition to 40 witnesses subpoenaed already.

Former President Donald Trump's onetime top adviser surrendered to federal authorities Monday. Bannon was indicted last week for defying a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Federal prosecutors charged Steve Bannon over his defiance of a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol siege.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan said records of interest can be released to the panel overseeing the probe into the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Six Trump allies, including Michael Flynn and John Eastman, were issued subpoenas tied to their efforts "to overturn the results of the 2020 election," the panel said.

A violent march in Charlottesville by far-right extremists in 2017 showed how well organized the far-right had become. A trial targeting those associated with the march is seen as a bellwether case.

The 229-202 vote in the Democratic-controlled chamber was largely along party lines, with nine GOP members joining Democrats. What happens next is up to the Justice Department.

The unanimous vote sends the measure to the full House. If the chamber approves it, the referral would be sent on to federal law enforcement for potential charges.
