On January 6, 2021, supporters of President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his election loss to Joe Biden by storming the capitol during a riot and violent attack against the U.S. Congress, disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes to formalize Joe Biden's victory.[1] By the end of the month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had opened more than 400 case files and issued more than 500 subpoenas and search warrants related to the riot.[2] The FBI also created a website to solicit tips from the public specifically related to the riot[3] and were especially assisted by the crowdsourced sleuthing of a group that calls themselves "Sedition Hunters."[4] By the end of 2021, 725 people were charged with federal crimes.[5][6]

On January 7, Michael R. Sherwin, the interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, said rioters could be charged with seditious conspiracy or insurrection.[7] He said any Capitol Police officer found to have assisted the rioters would be charged,[8] and he further suggested that Trump could be investigated for comments he made to his supporters before they stormed the Capitol and that others who "assisted or facilitated or played some ancillary role" in the events could also be investigated.[7] As of January 14, the majority of charges filed were for disorderly conduct and unlawful entry.[9]

Also on January 7, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson said that any rioter who entered the Capitol should be added to the federal No Fly List.[10] Former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe and inspector general David C. Williams argued Trump could face criminal charges for inciting the riot.[11]

Acting U.S. Attorney Sherwin said "almost all" of the cases charged in federal court have involved "significant federal felonies" with sentences between five and twenty years.[12] Many have been charged with assault on law enforcement officers; "violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol ground";[12] trespassing; disrupting Congress; theft or other property crimes; weapons offenses; making threats; and conspiracy.[13] Some criminal indictments are under seal. The majority of cases are in federal court, while others are in D.C. Superior Court.[14]

On March 2, 2022, Oathkeeper Joshua James pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy, admitting in his plea that "from November 2020 through January 2021, he conspired with other Oath Keeper members and affiliates to use force to prevent, hinder and delay the execution of the laws of the United States governing the transfer of presidential power."[15][16]

Criminal investigations[]

D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine said that he is specifically looking at whether to charge Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and Mo Brooks with inciting the violent attack on the Capitol, and indicated that he might consider charging Donald Trump when he has left office.[17] Calls for Trump to be prosecuted for inciting the crowd to storm the Capitol also were made in the aftermath of the event.[18] D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said, "We saw an unprecedented attack on our American democracy incited by the United States president. He must be held accountable. His constant and divisive rhetoric led to the abhorrent actions we saw today."[19] Legal experts have stated that charging Trump with incitement would be difficult under Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the Supreme Court ruling which established that for speech to be considered criminally inciting, it must have been intended to incite "imminent lawless action" and "likely to incite or produce such action".[20]

On February 10, CNN reported that the FBI, investigating the death of Brian Sicknick, was in the process of narrowing down a list of potential suspects.[21] On February 26, the agency reportedly identified one suspect of focus, according to sources.[22]

The New York Times reported in March 2021 that the FBI was investigating communications between an unnamed associate of the White House and an unnamed member of Proud Boys during the days prior to the incursion. The communications had been detected by examining cellphone metadata and were separate from previously known contacts between Roger Stone and Proud Boys.[23]

On March 2, 2022, the congressional committee investigating the January 6 attack stated in a court filing that they had enough evidence for "a good-faith basis for concluding that the president and members of his campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy". The Justice Department can decide whether to open a criminal investigation against the former president; the congressional committee cannot do it.[24][25]

Investigations into alleged foreign involvement and payments[]

On December 8, 2020, a French national gave around $500,000 in bitcoin payments to alt-right figures and groups. About half of these funds went to Nick Fuentes, the leader of the online Groyper Army, who denied breaching the building. The day after the transfer, the Frenchman killed himself.[26] The FBI is investigating whether any of this money financed illegal acts.[27]

The FBI is also investigating whether foreign adversaries of the U.S. – governments, organizations or individuals – provided financial support to people who attacked the Capitol.[27]

Separately, a joint threat assessment issued by the FBI, DHS, and other agencies said that "Russian, Iranian, and Chinese influence actors have seized the opportunity to amplify narratives in furtherance of their policy interest amid the presidential transition" and that these governments, through state actors, state media, and their proxies, used the riots to promote violence and extremism in the United States, denigrate American democracy, and in some instance promote conspiratorial claims.[27]

Numbers of people involved[]

About 2,000 people "are believed to have been involved with the siege," the FBI told Congress in June 2021.[28][29]

The day after the storming of the Capitol, the FBI and D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department asked the public for help identifying the rioters.[30][31] Within three weeks, the FBI had received more than 200,000 digital media tips from the public.[14][2] At least one person was harassed after being incorrectly identified as a participant in the riots by members of the public. His personal information had been doxed, and he reported receiving harassing phone calls and posts on social media.[32]

In a press conference on January 12, Steven D'Antuono from the FBI announced the agency's expectation to arrest hundreds of people in the coming months, as it sorts through the vast amount of evidence submitted by the public. The charge brought against most rioters would likely include accusations of sedition and conspiracy.[33]

On January 8, the Justice Department announced charges against 13 people in connection with the Capitol riot in federal district court; many more have been charged in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.[34][35] The FBI and the Department of Justice were working to track down over 150 people for prosecution by January 11, with the number expected to rise. Acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen instructed federal prosecutors to send all cases back to DC for prosecution, in a move that prosecutors across the county found "confounding".[36]

As of January 13, over 50 public sector employees and elected officials and over a dozen Capitol police officers were facing internal investigations to determine their possible complicity in the riot.[37]

As of October 2021, approximately 250 people were still wanted for assaulting police officers.[38]

Demographics[]

Though the number of people arrested is large enough to defy generalization, at least 17% were tied to extremist or fringe movements,[39] including the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, and Patriot Front,[40] as well as the Texas Freedom Force.[12] The majority were not affiliated with a specific far-right group and had been more informally radicalized by right-wing Internet, social media, or television.[40][41] At least 15% had ties to the military or law enforcement.[39] About 40% were business owners or white-collar workers; only about 9% were unemployed.[40] A Washington Post review of public records showed that of defendants with enough information to identify financial histories, almost 60% had experienced financial problems over the preceding 20 years.[40] Some 18% had a past bankruptcy (nearly double the rate of the general public), 20% had prior eviction and foreclosure proceedings, 25% had been sued by a creditor for not paying money owed; and others had bad debt, delinquent taxes, or tax liens.[40] Many clearly expressed a belief in the QAnon conspiracy theory.[13] While the majority of those charged were men, 25 women were also charged.[12] Among those whose age was known, the average age was 41 years; the youngest charged was 18, and the oldest was 70.[12] Those who were arrested came from 42 states, with the largest numbers coming from Texas, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania.[12] At least 27 had previous criminal records;[41] with at least nine having been previously accused of, or convicted of, committing violence against women (including one who had served five years in prison for rape and sexual battery) or had been the subject of domestic violence restraining orders.[42]

By the end of February 2021, CNN was aware of "nearly a dozen" defendants who admitted that, to their knowledge, the other Capitol rioters were all Trump supporters and that the riot had not been (as Trump's lawyers and some congressional Republicans had attempted to claim) a left-wing "false-flag" performance to pin blame on Trump supporters.[43] On March 2, FBI Director Chris Wray testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that there was no evidence that the rioters had been faking their support for Trump.[44]

Potential legal defense of arrestees[]

By the end of August, according to CNN's tally, crowdfunding campaigns had raised over $2 million (combined) for the legal defenses of dozens of defendants.[45]

Inspired by Trump[]

Within weeks, several defendants had already used the comments of President Trump in their legal defenses.[46][47] One said, "I feel like I was basically following my president. I was following what we were called to do."[48] A month after the riot, an ABC News investigation found that, of about two hundred accused individuals facing federal charges, at least fifteen had claimed that they acted based on Trump's encouragement. A person who threatened to assassinate Representative Ocasio-Cortez during the riot said: "I believed I was following the instructions of former President Trump. I also left Washington and started back to Texas immediately after President Trump asked us to go home."[49] In February 2021, a lawyer for Jacob Angeli told CNN that Trump had inspired the storming of the Capitol using "Trump Talk" and propaganda. Angeli hung on Trump's every word as did millions of other Americans, the lawyer said, adding that Angeli's experience in police custody resembled being deprogrammed from a cult.[50]

Ignorance of rules[]

A news report from February 2021 reported that at least twenty-nine of the arrested individuals have raised claims that they believed that they were free to enter the Capitol during the riot, as law enforcement officers did not attempt to stop them from entering and never told them they were not allowed to enter the building.[51]

Presidential pardon[]

Several, including Jacob Angeli, reportedly hoped for Presidential pardons before Trump left office.[52] During the two weeks following the attack and before he left office, Trump seriously considered a blanket pardon. It was deemed unfeasible because it would apply to a large, undefined group of people, many of whom had not yet been charged nor even identified. Concern was also expressed that White House counsel Pat Cipollone might quit if Trump were to attempt a blanket pardon.[53] On January 29, 2022, when over 760 people had been charged,[54] Trump said at a Texas rally that he would be inclined to pardon the rioters if he were reelected in 2024.[55] Representative Adam Schiff, who serves on the House committee investigating the attack, told MSNBC in February 2022 that Trump's offer of pardons suggests that he "condoned" the violence.[56] Representative Pete Aguilar, who is also on the committee, told CNN the same day that he considers Trump's offer to be witness tampering.[57]

Specific arrests and charges[]

A list of Capitol breach cases is being kept updated by the US Attorney's Office, District of Columbia.[58] BuzzFeed has a searchable table of the plea deals.[59]

Most defendants face "two class-B misdemeanor counts for demonstrating in the Capitol and disorderly conduct, and two class-A misdemeanor counts for being in a restricted building and disruptive activity," according to BuzzFeed, and therefore most plea deals address those misdemeanors. Some defendants have been additionally charged with felonies.[60]

By February 1, 228 people from 39 states and DC had been charged with federal and/or DC offences.[61] By April 23, 439 people had been charged.[62] By early September, there were over 600 federal defendants, 10% of whom had pled guilty,[63] and hundreds more arrests expected to come.[64] By October 13, there were over 630 federal defendants and 100 guilty pleas.[59] By Jan 29, 2022, 761 people had been charged.[54]

According to Politico, dozens of defendants "deemed to be dangerous, flight risks or at high risk of obstructing justice were ordered held without bond. D.C. jail officials later determined that all Capitol detainees would be placed in so-called restrictive housing."[65] U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized this decision, referring to it as solitary confinement, which she argued "is a form of punishment that is cruel and psychologically damaging.”[65]

On January 12, a retired Navy SEAL and the director of firearms training business ATG Worldwide, who posted a Facebook video on January 6 in which he described "breaching the Capitol", was questioned by the FBI. On January 12, the ATG Facebook page shared a video message from the man in which he described having participated in a "caravan" to the Capitol on January 6 because he was "angry at the direction of our country."[179] He has expressed regret for his participation and said he is cooperating with the FBI.[180]

On April 28, a 37-year-old Brooklyn man, Brendan Hunt, was convicted of making a death threat against unspecific congresspeople and senators, in a vlog around the time of the Capitol riots. Although Hunt was not in Washington on January 6, federal prosecutors cited the Capitol riots as relevant context that made such a threat more dangerous.[181][182]

On October 15, Capitol Police Officer Michael A. Riley was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice for advising a rioter to remove incriminating posts from social media. The U.S. Capitol Police disclosed that they had known of the investigation into Riley's actions for several weeks, placed him on administrative suspension upon his arrest, and announced an internal affairs investigation into his actions.[183]

On March 2, 2022, federal prosecutors presented their opening statements in a criminal trial against Guy Wesley Reffitt. Many other defendants were charged with obstruction related to the disruption of the Electoral College vote certification, but Reffitt's trial was "the first time a jury will get to decide whether the charge fits the crime", according to the New York Times.[184] On March 8, he was found guilty on all five counts: transporting a firearm in furtherance of a civil disorder; obstruction of an official proceeding; entering or remaining in a restricted area or grounds with a firearm; obstructing officers during a civil disorder; and obstruction of justice — hindering communication through force or threat of physical force.[185]

Under battle flags bearing Donald Trump's name, the Capitol's attackers pinned a bloodied police officer in a doorway, his twisted face and screams captured on video. They mortally wounded another officer with a blunt weapon and body-slammed a third over a railing into the crowd. 'Hang Mike Pence!' the rioters chanted as they pressed inside, beating police with pipes. They demanded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's whereabouts, too. They hunted any and all lawmakers: 'Where are they?' Outside, makeshift gallows stood, complete with sturdy wooden steps and the noose. Guns and pipe bombs had been stashed in the vicinity. ... The mob got stirring encouragement from Trump and more explicit marching orders from the president's men. 'Fight like hell,' Trump exhorted his partisans at the staging rally. 'Let's have trial by combat,' implored his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, whose attempt to throw out election results in trial by courtroom failed. It's time to 'start taking down names and kicking ass', said Republican Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama. Criminals pardoned by Trump, among them Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, came forward at rallies on the eve of the attack to tell the crowds they were fighting a battle between good and evil
