00:00 Since the January 6th attack, the Justice Department has engaged in what has become

00:05 one of the largest and most complex and resource-intensive investigations in our history.

00:11 We have initiated prosecutions and secured convictions across a wide range of criminal conduct on January 6th,

00:19 as well as in the days and weeks leading up to the attack.

00:23 We have secured convictions of those who brutally assaulted officers at the Capitol.

00:28 We have secured convictions against those who obstructed the certification of the presidential election.

00:36 We have secured convictions of leaders of both the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy.

00:43 So far, we have charged over 1,250 individuals and obtained over 890 convictions

00:51 in connection with the January 6th attack.

00:55 Our work continues.

00:57 As I said before, the Justice Department will hold all January 6th perpetrators at any level accountable under the law,

01:05 whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy.
