WASHINGTON — Thirteen individuals, including a suburban Chicago man and the CEO of a data analytics firm who was terminated for his actions, have been charged so far in federal court in the District of Columbia related to crimes committed at the US Capitol in Washington, D.C, on Wednesday, according to the Department of Justice.
In addition to those who have been charged, additional complaints have been submitted and investigations are ongoing, said a statement by the Justice Department. "The lawless destruction of the U.S. Capitol building was an attack against one of our Nation's greatest institutions," said Acting US Attorney Michael Sherwin.
