"Newly Released Video Reveals Suspected Group Building Jan. 6 Gallows Before Capitol Siege"

Newly released surveillance footage shows a group suspected of constructing the infamous gallows and noose on the west front of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in the predawn hours before the siege. Despite the outrage triggered by the display, the probe into who is responsible remains unsolved, with no identified individuals linked to the construction. The gallows, adorned with a bright orange noose, was left unattended after the mob confronted and assaulted police officers, and a young Black man was witnessed cutting down the noose. The House subcommittee's report provided a detailed timeline of the group's activities, but the individuals involved remain unidentified, and the investigation into the gallows construction on restricted grounds is ongoing.
