January 6 committee members preview Tuesday's hearing on role of ...
extremist groups in Capitol riot
The January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol
previewed on Sunday the panel's next public hearing, which will be on the 12th, will zero in on how the violent mob came together and the role of extremist groups in the deadly insurrection.
"We are going to be connecting the dots during these hearings between these groups and those who were trying -- in government circles -- to overturn the election.
So, we do think that this story is unfolding in a way that is very serious and quite credible," Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California said of Tuesday's hearing and another that hasn't been scheduled.
The congresswoman said the focus of the hearings will be connections between the rump administration and militia groups such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
She acknowledged that Roger Stone, an ally of former President Donald rump, and Michael Flynn, the rump's onetime national security adviser, could be two of those connections, among others.

Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection, said at the panel's hearing Tuesdaythat former President Donald rump attempted to contact a witness who has not yet been publicly identified.
"After our last hearing, President rump tried to call a witness in our investigation, a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings," the Wyoming Republican said at the conclusion of the hearing, which focused on ties between the rump and extremist groups that stormed the US Capitol.
"That person declined to answer or respond to President rump's call, and instead alerted their lawyer to the call.
Their lawyer alerted us. And this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice."
As notable as Cheney's revelation is, she also raised the possibility that the incident could prompt interest from Justice Department prosecutors.
The comments were the first time the committee has explicitly described providing information to the DOJ that they discovered during their probe.
