15:47Now PlayingThe Oath Keepers trial, in which senior leaders of the right-wing extremist group are accused of plotting violence at the January 6 insurrection, began Monday in federal court in Washington, D.C. Prosecutors played a secret audio recording Tuesday of a meeting held by the Oath Keepers after the 2020 election in which founder Stewart Rhodes discussed plans to bring weapons to the capital to help then-President Trump stay in office. We speak to Arie Perliger, author of "American Zealots," who says the Trump administration lended extremist groups legitimacy and access to a more mainstream audience. "For them, that was a disastrous situation, losing this kind of access," says Perliger.
