Compiling the Criminal Charges Following the Capitol Riot

On Jan. 6, a violent mob entered the United States Capitol Building during the congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, forcing lawmakers and congressional staff to flee to safe locations. The rioters arrived at the Capitol Building following a rally on the National Mall where speakers and demonstrators urged Congress to not certify Biden’s win in the presidential race due to baseless claims of voter fraud and irregularities. After law enforcement cleared the mob out of the Capitol, Congress certified President-elect Biden’s victory. Arrests related to the breach of the Capitol are ongoing.  Here, we are compiling links to charging documents related to the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill. This article will be continually updated.
