Capitol Insurrection

Five years after a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol to halt certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, a political battle has intensified over how January 6, 2021, should be remembered — and what it means going forward.

A Republican-led congressional subcommittee is leading a new investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Do their claims add up?

The disconnect between Emil Bove's aggressive stance at the time to hold rioters accountable — and his current hostility toward the Jan. 6 probe — has troubled some former colleagues.

The details on FBI employees comes in response to a Justice Department memo last week, asking for names of all current and former FBI personnel who worked on Jan. 6 cases or the prosecution of Hamas leaders.

President Donald Trump pardoned nearly 1,500 people who were convicted of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Some of those included high-profile North Texans.

Andrew Taake, 36, was released from a federal prison in Colorado on Jan. 20, despite a request from the Harris County DA’s Office to hold him on a pending state warrant from 2016.

A Texan was the first to breach the Capitol and many others joined the assault. The presidential pardon helps cast all of them as folk heroes.

Four years after the riot at the Capitol, Congress meets under heavy security and a blanket of snow to certify the 2024 election.

A police officer defended the Capitol from violent rioters on Jan. 6. With President-elect Donald Trump poised to pardon the rioters, he now asks, "what did I risk my life for?"

The move came after federal prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss both the Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago documents cases against Donald Trump.
