New Jan. 6 audio shows an Oath Keeper relishing the prospect of hurting members of Congress, confident that Trump supported it, committee says

The January 6 committee released a new audio that it said showed members of the Oath Keepers group, in which one man said he would hurt members of Congress if President Donald Trump supported them.

The one-and-a-half minute clip was released by the House Select Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol.

The committee said that the clip shows communications over a walkie-talkie app among Oath Keepers who were inside the Capitol.

It's not clear who these members are and where they are sharing intel from.

Some members of the Oath Keepers are shown in a video walking around the Capitol Rotunda.

One man can be heard saying "CNN just said that they evacuated all members of Congress into a safety room"

There is no safe place in the United States for these motherfuckers right now.

The first man read out a message that had just been sent out by the former president. They are supporting us. Do not put them in harms way.

The man laughed and said that it was saying a lot by what he didn't say. He did not tell the Congressmen not to do anything.

The second man said that the man didn't ask them to stand down.

The full clip can be watched below.

The Oath Keepers were referring to the Capitol Police and law enforcement. They are very supportive of our country. According to The American Presidency Project, stay calm.

I am asking for everyone at the US Capitol to remain peaceful. There was no violence. We are the Party of Law and Order and we need to respect the law. I would like to thank you.

Trump did not condemn his supporters more forcefully.

The New York Times reported that some people, including Trump supporters, had already died.

The Oath Keepers are considered to be far-right extremists. Stewart Rhodes has been charged in connection with the Capitol riot.

The Oath Keepers were accused by the Justice Department of having a "death list" of people they wanted to kill.

seditious conspiracy is the most serious charge leveled at suspected Capitol rioters so far.

The lawyer for Rhodes didn't reply immediately.
