Happening now: Plea hearing for Thomas Baranyi, of NJ. Baranyi told my colleague @arianedatil he was right next to Ashli Babbitt when she was shot. "It could have been me, but she went in first," he said. He'll be pleading guilty to entering/remaining in a restricted building. 
"We tore through the scaffolding, through flash bangs and tear gas, and blitzed our way in through all the chamber just trying to get into Congress or whoever we could get in to and tell them that we need some kind of investigation into this," Baranyi said.
Here's Baranyi describing the moments before Ashli Babbitt was shot: "We had stormed into the chambers inside and there was a young lady who rushed through the windows. A number of police and Secret Service were saying get down, get out of the way. She didn't heed the call..."
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg accepts Thomas Baranyi's plea of guilty to one Class "A" misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building. Sentencing set for May 6 at 10 a.m. He'll face a maximum of 1 year in prison. #CapitolRiot
