The FBI has opened roughly 160 cases involving individuals who took part in the demonstration on Capitol Hill that turned violent last week, some of whom could face up to 20 years in prison.
Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin and FBI Washington Field Office Assistant Director in Charge Steven D’Antuono said
during a Tuesday press conference that mounting federal charges are “only the beginning.â€
“We’re looking at significant felony cases tied to sedition and conspiracy,†Sherwin said, adding that some of the charges being considered by the Justice Department have sentences of up to 20 years in prison.
While some are only facing misdemeanor charges, like “the zip-tie guys,†ongoing investigations that could take years will likely elevate those charges, he said.
