Ohio man who argued he was "directed" by Trump to join the Jan. 6 Capitol riot convicted on all counts

Washington – After less than three hours of deliberations, a Washington, D.C., jury found Dustin Thompson guilty of multiple charges stemming from his participation in the January 6, 2021, Capitol assault, including obstructing Congress' certification of the Electoral College votes and stealing liquor and a coat rack from the Capitol building. 

He likely faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. 

The Ohio man was first charged in the weeks following the Capitol breach with co-defendant, Robert Lyon. Investigators say they drove together to the Washington area ahead of the attack and later took an Uber to former President Trump's "Save America" rally in the heart of the city.
