Capitol siege 'rallying point' for some hate groups -Former DHS official

A panel of security experts warned a congressional committee on Thursday (February 4) that the threat of domestic attacks fueled by right-wing extremist groups is likely to remain a problem in the United States for the foreseeable future.

The House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security held a hearing on "Examining the Domestic Terrorism Threat in the Wake of the Attack on the U.S. Capitol" featuring several experts in the fields of intelligence and domestic security.

Former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism and Threat Prevention, Elizabeth Neumann, predicted that the upcoming months will see further attacks on "softer targets" with "roots and inspiration points" from the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
