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.
US Justice Dept charges 15 with Capitol violence
10 January, 2021 12:00 AM
WASHINGTON: The US Justice Department announced on Friday that it has charged 15 people involved in the assault on Congress, including one man accused of possessing bombs made to act like “homemade napalm”, reports AFP.
But Ken Kohl, a federal prosecutor with the Washington US attorney’s office, said they did not expect to charge anyone with “incitement” or “insurrection” in Wednesday’s violence, amid calls for legal action against President Donald Trump, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others for encouraging it.
The department unveiled the cases against 13 people, including Richard Barnett, a Trump supporter who invaded the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Lonnie Coffman of Alabama, who was found carrying two handguns and had 11 Styrofoam-enhanced Molotov cocktails in his truck.
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.
