The massive Justice Department investigation into the Jan. 6 riot is ongoing, but the picture so far shows "small cells" of conspiracy, rather than an overarching one. Here's what's publicly known.

Court papers filed by the Justice Department allege that a member of the Oath Keepers coordinated with the Proud Boys and a far-right, self-styled militia to form an "alliance" on Jan. 6.

An NPR review of federal charges against people involved in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot shows they were armed with a wide variety of weapons, contradicting a false claim that rioters were not armed.

The FBI released videos showing 10 people suspected of assaulting police during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. "Some of the most violent offenders have yet to be identified," the bureau said.

With all the talk about domestic terrorism, you might assume there's a law against it. There's not. The storming of the Capitol has again raised the question about whether one is needed.

People who stormed the Capitol were radicalized by what they consumed online and in social media. That should sound familiar: Ten years ago, ISIS used a similar strategy to lure Americans to Syria.

The Justice Department says the investigation into the Capitol insurrection will likely be one of the largest in American history.

In a new filing, federal prosecutors allege that Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was in direct contact before and on Jan. 6 with individuals who stormed the Capitol.

More than 1,000 people have been charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. NPR is tracking each case from the initial charges through sentencing.

While removing former President Trump from social media has led to a significant decrease in election-related disinformation, online falsehoods about the election and vaccines continue to flourish.
