Abram Markofski and Brandon Nelson of Wisconsin and John Douglas Wright of Ohio were all arrested Monday and charged with breaking into the Capitol, the records show.
Filings from the Federal Bureau of Investigation show that Markofski and Nelson have been under investigation since shortly after a tipster contacted the FBI a day after the riot.
A charging document in Wright s case references four unnamed cooperating witnesses who each confirmed that he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6 based on Wright s own posts on Facebook.

Since several individuals accused of more serious wrongdoing at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol are currently free while they await trial, then a Manheim Township man arrested for his actions that day should also be released from federal custody.Â
Thatâs one of the arguments made by an attorney for Michael Lopatic, who this week appealed a federal judgeâs ruling thatâs kept him locked up since his arrest on Feb. 3.Â
Prosecutors want Lopatic to remain incarcerated while he awaits trial, arguing heâs a flight risk and could try to obstruct justice.
âThere is not a shred of evidence to support either of those arguments. Mr. Lopatic is not a serious flight risk and there is no serious risk that he will obstruct or attempt to obstruct justice,â attorney Dennis Boyle wrote in a legal brief appealing a judgeâs order that Lopatic be held.
