U.S. Capitol breach | Justice Department indicts 15 over Capitol violence
The HinduThe U.S. Justice Department announced Wednesday that it has indicted 15 people involved in the assault on Congress, including one man accused of possessing bombs made to act like "homemade napalm." The department said it had arrested several suspects, including Richard Barnett, a supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump who invaded the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and another man found with 11 styrofoam-enhanced Molotov cocktails in his truck. Others whose charges were unsealed include a man alleged to have entered the U.S. Capitol with a loaded handgun, another who is accused of punching an officer, and a West Virginia State legislator who took part in storming the Congress, said Ken Cole, a federal prosecutor with the Washington U.S. Attorney's office. Dozens of people were arrested and charged by local Washington police, but the charges announced by Mr. Cole on Friday were on the federal level, and potentially carry heftier punishment.
