Capitol Hill Siege

In keeping with our tradition of providing primary source documents to the research community and the public at large, The Program on Extremism created a central database of court records related to the events of January 6th, 2021. Program staff have meticulously tracked legal proceedings for each of the 1,579 federal defendants charged for their role in the attack on the Capitol, compiling tens of thousands of legal documents to create the most comprehensive dataset available to the public.
