The Department of Justice says it has charged over 535 defendants six months after the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
At least 165 were charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers or employees. The FBI released 11 new videos of suspects violently assaulting officers during the Capitol riots.
The U.S. attorney’s office also says that approximately six people have been arrested on charges of assaulting a member of the media or destroying their equipment.
But the DOJ still says it needs the public’s help identifying 300 people believed to have committed violent acts at the Capitol, including 200 who who assaulted law enforcement.
