It’s been two years since the January 6th, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former president Trump who were attempting to stop the election certification process of Joe Biden’s presidency. Since then, over 900 participants in the mob have been charged with various crimes for their actions that day. The majority have received months of jail time or probation, though a number have caught more severe charges and sentences for offenses such as attacking police officers, obstructing Congress, and seditious conspiracy.
The investigation has become the biggest criminal inquiry in the history of the Department of Justice, and federal investigators have signaled they’re in it for the long haul.
We’re joined by Alan Feuer, criminal justice reporter covering far-right extremism and political violence at the New York Times.
