JUST IN: The Justice Department has opened more than 170 cases into last week’s riot by pro-Trump extremists at the U.S. Capitol, Michael Sherwin, the acting U.S. attorney, said, adding they expect to investigate "hundreds" more.
Sherwin called the Capitol an active crime scene and noted that the Justice Department is looking at “significant felony cases tied to sedition and conspiracy.”
Charges being considered against the protesters include trespassing, theft of mail, theft of digital devices, and assault on officers, Sherwin said.
He said the charges “are only the beginning … not the end.”
