NEW: Investigators for the House Jan. 6 committee are scrutinizing events as far back as a year before the Capitol riot in effort to identify a broader network of planning and the causes of the attack, according to people helping conduct the investigation.
The investigators said the domestic extremism investigation is separated into two teams differentiated mostly by timeline.
The committee has interviewed members and leaders of the extremist movements, including the recently indicted Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, who participated in a video conference with investigators last week. One unifying factor for many groups, investigators said, was belief in the great replacement theory, a white nationalist conspiracy theory that falsely claims shadowy elites are intentionally displacing white Americans through immigration.
