Two men recorded in now notorious images from the Jan. 6 riot in Washington were charged in federal court Saturday for violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
Federal officials said one of the men, 36-year-old Adam Johnson, of Florida, removed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s lectern from its storage spot and was photographed carrying it through the Capitol building.
Federal officials also charged Jacob Anthony Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, and said he was taken into custody Saturday. Mr. Chansley allegedly was photographed entering the Capitol building shirtless with red, white and blue face paint while wearing a bearskin headdress with horns and carrying a six-foot-long spear with an American flag tied below the blade.
