Liz Cheney (R-WY), chief Washington correspondent and "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl on Jan. 6 and its aftermath, and chief global affairs correspondent and "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz, who reconnects with a participant she met during the Capitol riots and examines the rise of military extremism since Jan. 6. The program will also unveil new findings from a new ABC News/Ipsos poll on where we are as a country following the attack.

ABC News' Jan. 6 anniversary coverage will also include reports and interviews from chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas, chief White House correspondent Cecilia Vega, senior White House correspondent Mary Bruce, congressional correspondent Rachel Scott, White House correspondent MaryAlice Parks, correspondent Stephanie Ramos and senior Washington reporter Devin Dwyer.

ABC News Live will present retrospectives from ABC News correspondents and producers who were covering the attack in 2021. Coverage will also feature roundtables and interviews with families and communities grappling with the outcome of that day. "ABC News Live Prime" with anchor Linsey Davis will revisit how Jan. 6, 2021, impacted some families, as children who turned their parents in are now trying to pick up the pieces. Correspondent Mireya Villarreal is set to speak with a group trying to build back their lives and family bonds.

The documentary "Homegrown: Standoff to Rebellion" will provide a look at the days, events and conversations leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, from the eyes of anti-government groups, with interviews from Ammon Bundy, a former Oath Keeper, extremism experts and several ABC News correspondents who were at the Capitol that day. The ABC News Investigative Unit-produced documentary will begin streaming Wednesday, Jan. 5, on Hulu, and on Jan. 6 on ABC News Live.

ABC News Digital will feature comprehensive coverage and analysis featuring video content, photo slideshows and articles on what we learned since the riot, key players who were not held responsible and more.
