Washington — Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, said Sunday the panel is still examining possible links between former President Donald Trump and far-right extremist groups, including the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, members of which have been charged for their roles in the attack.
"That remains an ongoing part of our investigation," Schiff said in an interview on "Face the Nation." "We have certainly shown some links between the president, the key advisors like Roger Stone and Mike Flynn, and elements of these white nationalist groups, but that component of our investigation continues."
"I think we really need to think about what we've demonstrated already, about the president's knowledge that the election wasn't stolen, and his response and his intent, and to me that is most graphically demonstrated, when he told top Justice Department officials basically to just say the election was stolen or just say it was corrupt and that he would take care of the rest," he said. "Those kind of pieces of testimony, they're directly on the president's knowledge and intent."
The California Democrat said he believes Trump engaged in the "most supreme dereliction of duty ever" with his inaction to stop the violence at the Capitol, and the former president's multiple attempts to reverse the outcome of the election "invoke various criminal laws, and his conduct ought to be the subject of investigation."

The definition of an “extremist group “ is a group associated with President Trump.
This unending crap is just ridiculous.
I know I’m a Trump supporter but constantly investigating every (imaginary) burp by the former president is way over the top.
Get a life pencil neck.
Yep, “far right”.
Every conservative position is “far right”.
“..Get a life, pencil neck....”
He tried to with Ed Buck. It didn’t turn out well. LOL.
If there’s a dereliction of duty, you’d have in that category the FBI, Capitol Police Chief, DC Metro Police Chief, Pelosi, McConnell, the two Sergeants-at-Arms and many rank and file provocateur’s on site that were firing off tasers and concussion grenades that likely triggered the deaths of two or three Trump supporters.
Says the guy who went to the apt MULTIPLE times of convicted murderer Ed buck
They sure are taking their time. Maybe there is nothing to investigate.
Links = all of them live on planet earth.
Well, there you go... they must be guilty.
.
Hey this is a great idea. I am sure that Schiff will soon be probing committee chairman Bennie Thompson’s ties to a secessionist group called the Republic of New Afrika, who have repeatedly advocated violent overthrow of the U.S. government. I mean, if we really want to get to the truth...
Of course they won’t mention the many,many extremist groups the democrat party is tied to.
Anyone believing in Jesus is a white supremacist
The "election" was stolen, ya Dumb Schiff.
One has to begin to wonder how many people this piece of Schiff railroaded when he was a young bug-eyed Federal persecutor.
The Beast with Two Backs had bugeyes...
Hi extremists....
You keep using that phrase....
How about probing the connections that this crazy fool has?
Over a year into the investigation and no “links to extremist groups” have emerged? They’ll continue until they find a pic of some Proud Boy attending a Trump rally, or some such thing. Or that Trump was photographed in a group of people where a Proud Boy happened to be present. Or that a Proud Boy once responded to a Trump tweet. You know, close chain-of-command stuff like that.
Probe?
Adam Schitt had his a$$ probed by democrat donor and black male prostitute killer Ed Buck.
