On Politics   Friday, January 6 OnPolitics: Two years after Jan. 6 attack, where we are now The fallout from the Jan. 6 insurrection is ongoing two years later. What to know about extremism, the investigation into Trump and today's events. Today is Jan. 6, exactly two years after rioters stormed the Capitol to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Here's where we are now in 2023. President Joe Biden honored 14 people who "demonstrated courage and selflessness during a moment of peril for our nation," Maureen Groppe and Ella Lee write.  He bestowed the nation's second highest civilian honor on police officers, election workers and public officials at a White House ceremony. It's the highest profile event recognizing the anniversary of the Capitol attack.  What else to know: Extremist groups are still around: Even though two years later the extremist groups present at the insurrection are largely fractured and leaderless, violent domestic terrorism is still a problem, Will Carless and Ella Lee write. The ideologies that underpin extremist hatred and conspiracy theories, and which galvanized thousands to march on the Capitol, are as present as ever in today's America, and should not be underestimated or forgotten, experts on extremism warn. The Capitol attack shook former president Donald Trump's closest aides and family: The thousands of pages of newly released interview transcripts from the House Jan. 6 panel show how even Trump's own children – Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. – desperately tried to get Trump to issue an unequivocal public statement. It would not only stop people from getting injured or killed at the Capitol, they argued, but help protect Trump's legacy from being tarnished by the mob protest that he himself had encouraged during a speech earlier in the day at a rally a few blocks away. Here's what 11 of Trump's closest advisers said. More than 950 people charged, but investigation is 'far from over': In the two years since insurrectionists forced their way into the Capitol, more than 950 people have been charged for their roles in the riot, and the FBI continues to seek hundreds more. "Our work is far from over," Attorney General Merrick Garland said this week. Here's where the arrests and court actions stand. Happening in Washington today: Two years after the U.S. Capitol was stormed by a violent mob of Trump supporters, the House GOP is in turmoil as Republicans struggle to elect a House speaker. But that could change tonight. Live updates of the House speaker vote. 🖅 Forwarded by a friend? Sign up to get OnPolitics in your inbox.
