West Virginia lawmakers are calling for the removal of a House delegate who has been charged with breaking into the U.S. Capitol along with a mob of pro-Trump rioters on Wednesday.
Derrick Evans, a newly elected Republican member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, is facing federal charges after livestreaming a video in which he surged through a door in the interior of the Capitol building.
According to a deputy federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., Evans is being charged "with entering restricted area and entering the United States Capitol," West Virginia MetroNews reported.
