What to watch for in Tuesday's January 6 committee presentation on right-wing extremist groups
CNN
The January 6 committee plans to show at its hearing Tuesday how right-wing extremist groups including the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers prepared to attack the US Capitol in the days leading up to January 6, 2021 -- and the groups' ties to Donald Trump associates, including Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, according to committee aides.
The latest January 6 hearing -- the panel's seventh since they began last month -- will focus on the extremist groups and their preparations ahead of January 6, 2021. Committee aides said the hearing will also scrutinize how Trump's actions fueled the groups, such as his December 2020 tweet telling his supporters descend on Washington on January 6.
The hearing is also expected to be the first chance for the committee to play clips of its closed-door interview last week with former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone.
In the days and weeks leading up Hunter Biden’s trial on felony gun charges, President Joe Biden made little attempt to distance himself from his son. Instead, Hunter Biden was seen at the White House and in Delaware at his father’s side amid what the president’s allies acknowledge is a difficult moment for both men.
