CBSN technology reporter Dan Patterson joins Anne-Marie Green on CBSN AM to discuss the current state of the QAnon conspiracy movement and its many tentacles.
How conspiracy theories fueled Capitol riot
Conspiracy theories have largely dominated the last four years of President Trump's time in office.

Dan Romer, the research director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, joined CBSN to discuss.

Barr urges federal charges for violent protests
Attorney General William Barr is calling on U.S. attorneys nationwide to seek federal charges against violent demonstrators.
