Both father and son were charged with felony unlawful entry into a restricted area, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and depredation of government property, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.
Seefried is suspected of
walking around the Capitol building with the large Confederate flag after throngs of President Trump supporters stormed the building as Congress was meeting to certify Joe Biden’s electoral win.
The
FBI
released images of Seefried carrying the flag through the building earlier this week, asking the public to contact law enforcement if they knew his location and identity.
