- The FBI is seeking the public’s help in identifying more than 350 people still at large who are believed to have committed violent acts as part of a mob of Trump supporters that invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
- That group of “wanted” suspects include more than 250 people “who assaulted police officers,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., said.
- The riot began as a joint session of Congress was meeting, presided over by then-Vice President Mike Pence, to confirm the Electoral College victory of President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
- Before the attack, then-President Donald Trump and a number of his allies had repeated false claims of widespread ballot fraud in the popular electoral vote.
