A criminal-defense attorney began tracking Donald Trump's base online before the 2020 election.

He has turned over information to a committee investigating the January 6 siege on the US Capitol.

His monitoring has made him concerned about the safety of school board members, he told Insider.

Ron Filipkowski, a criminal-defense attorney in Sarasota, Florida, who has been monitoring right-wing extremists online says he's now helping the House Committee investigating the January 6 attacks on the US Capitol.

Filipkowski, a former longtime Republican, on Friday tweeted that he and his team have compiled "hundreds of very obscure interviews and podcasts from the planners, leaders and participants" of the siege on the US Capitol, most of which they've never posted.

"At their request, today we turned over all of them to the J6 Select Committee, catalogued and organized," he wrote.
