Most alleged Capitol rioters unconnected to groups, analysis finds

People unaffiliated with organized movements fuel a diverse and fractured domestic extremist threat', researchers say

Nearly 90% of the people charged in the Capitol riot so far have no connection with militias or other organized extremist groups, according to a new analysis that adds to the understanding of what some experts have dubbed the mass radicalization" of Trump supporters.

A report from George Washington University's Center on Extremism has analyzed court records about cases that have been made public. It found that more than half of people facing federal charges over the 6 January attack appear to have planned their participation alone, not even coordinating with family members or close friends. Only 33 of the 257 alleged participants appear to have been part of existing militant networks", including the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers anti-government militia.
