YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe June 9 hearing from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection put the involvement of the far-right extremist groups Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers into sharper focus.
Marcus Childress, an attorney for the Jan. 6 committee, said members of extremist groups were energized to arrive to the Capitol by a Dec. 19 tweet from former President Donald Trump.
The committee also shared details about a meeting among Proud Boys members in a parking structure the night before the attack, on Jan. 5. According to the committee's investigation, the extremist groups taking part in the insurrection had made references to a civil war. Some members of the Oath Keepers had set up "quick reaction forces," in Virginia "in case President Trump invoked the insurrection act," Childress said.
The June 9 primetime hearing was the first of several planned this month. The committee has conducted more than 1,000 interviews and has gathered seeking critical information and documents from people witness to, or involved in, the violence that day.
