The rioter who Denver Riggleman, former senior technical adviser for the Jan. 6 Committee, said was called by the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, is 26-year-old Anton Lunyk, CBS News has learned. Lunyk is from Brooklyn, New York, and traveled to Washington, D.C., the night before the Capitol attack with two friends, according to Justice Department court filings.
The call to Lunyk's phone at about 4:30 p.m. allegedly lasted just nine seconds. It's not known whether there was an exchange or if the call went to voicemail.
A CBS News review of Lunyk's court case found he left the Capitol more than an hour earlier at 3:18 p.m., after about 10 minutes inside the building.
