Federal authorities continued Tuesday to round up people following a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week and to file new charges against others who had already been arrested.
Authorities said they kept a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia tied up for hours on Tuesday as they prepared to file more charges in what acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin called an unprecedented investigation.
Adam Johnson, 36, was arrested by federal marshals in Florida on Friday and is currently being held at the Pinellas County Jail, according to arrest records.
Thomas Gallagher To be clear, what took place that day was not First Amendment-protected activity, but rather an affront on our democracy, FBI director Christopher Wray said in the release.
Among those arrested Friday was Richard Barnett, who was charged in federal court. Barnett, who was photographed sitting in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi s office during the riots, was arrested in Arkansas and charged with entering and remaining on restricted grounds, violent entry and theft of public property, CNBC said it was told by law enforcement officials.
Meanwhile, police in Washington said Friday that after asking public assistance into Wednesday s insurgence at the Capitol, they have received more than 17,000 tips regarding people who may have been involved.
