America watched as hordes of rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol on January 6 crushing through windows, pressing up stairways, and sending lawmakers and law enforcement running for their lives. The flood of protesters who streamed into the Capitol that day left federal authorities with an equally immense task: finding and charging those responsible.
The Department of Justice said last week that more than 410 defendants have been arrested since the attack, and the government wrote in a Thursday court filing that in addition to the 400 people who have already been charged, the government expects to charge at least 100 more.
