FBI Still on Hunt for Suspects in Capitol Riot Despite More Than 500 Arrests

More than 500 people have been arrested for the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, as authorities search for more suspects six months later.

At least 165 of the 535 people arrested in connection with the attack have been charged with assault, but “some of the most violent offenders have yet to be identified,” said Steven M. D’Antuono, assistant director of the FBI Washington Field Office.

The FBI released new videos of what the agency says are “suspects in 11 of the most violent and horrifying assaults on federal officers” during the riot.

In one video, an officer is knocked to the ground as the outnumbered police attempt to quell the mob. In another, an officer can be seen struggling to hold onto a police baton as a person wearing a blue Trump flag as a cape tries to snatch it. . .

“As we mark six months since the violence at our nation’s Capitol, we continue to encourage the public to send tips to the FBI,” Mr. D’Antuono said in a statement. “As we have seen with dozens of cases so far, the tips matter.” (Read more from “FBI Still on Hunt for Suspects in Capitol Riot Despite More Than 500 Arrests” HERE)
