What we know about the "unprecedented" Capitol riot arrests
CBSN
America watched as hordes of rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol on January 6 — crushing through windows, pressing up stairways, and sending lawmakers and law enforcement running for their lives. The flood of protesters who streamed into the Capitol that day left federal authorities with an equally immense task: finding and charging those responsible.
In an interview with "60 Minutes," federal prosecutor Michael Sherwin said that more than 400 people had been charged in federal court in connection with the events of January 6. The government said in a court filing March 12, "The Capitol Attack is likely the most complex investigation ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice."More Related News
