I am immensely proud for the world to see what 75+ @washingtonpost journalists have been working to produce over the last 5 months. “THE ATTACK: Before, During and After” explores the causes, cost and aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

RED FLAGS: Law enforcement officials failed to heed mounting warnings about Jan. 6 violence as Trump propelled his supporters to Washington

BLOODSHED: For 187 harrowing minutes, Trump watched his supporters attack the Capitol - and resisted pleas to stop them

CONTAGION: Threats and disinformation spread across the country in the wake of the Capitol siege, shaking the underpinnings of American democracy

This investigation is based on interviews with more than 230 people and thousands of pages of court documents and internal law enforcement reports, as well as hundreds of videos, photographs and audio clips.

The series tells the story of this consequential moment in American history through the six characters whose lives have been deeply affected by the Capitol attack.

A project of this scale and ambition was a true collective effort that stretched across the @washingtonpost newsroom.
