he Justice Department has notified federal judges in Washington that it expects to charge more than 500 people with taking part in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
"Over 400 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack," federal prosecutors said in court documents filed late Thursday. "The investigation continues and the government expects that at least one hundred additional individuals will charged."
The current number of people charged is 440, a law enforcement official said Friday.
Justice Department lawyers have described the sprawling investigation as one of the largest in American history in terms of the number of charges filed and the volume of evidence, which includes more than 15,000 hours of video from surveillance and police body cameras.
Court documents show that those charged come from nearly every state, with Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas topping the list in number of residents arrested. Roughly 90 percent of the total charged were men, and their average age was 40, according to figures compiled by the Program on Extremism at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
The majority of those charged are accused of lower-level offenses, such as entering a federal building without permission and trying to disrupt the official counting of the Electoral College vote for president. A few dozen face more serious charges of assaulting police officers or damaging government property.

The Injustice Dept.
What a kangaroo court.
This is disgusting.
And 95% will be found not guilty, because they just stood around and didn’t do anything of substance.
How’s the Durham Report going?
Have they charged 5 in the riots that raged from coast to coast? This is en effing joke. And perhaps worse than a joke. Remember the Chicago 7? How’s about the DC 500?
The precess is the punishment.
Government is the enemy of the people.
Unless they committed violence or destroying something, the defense is they were invited in by the Capitol police. There’s videos of that, I believe.
Our ENTIRE Govt. is TOTALLY CORRUPT!!
Any charged with insurrection? Lemme guess: nope.
Saw a story tonight that a guy was on a dating app and told an interest he was inside the capitol.
She turned him in and now he’s facing 4 misdemeanor charges.
...or the Hunter Biden investigation...?
And none of them did anything harmful.
They weren’t arrested at the scene for rioting or arson or looting.
It’s a white terror prosecution.
And how many are being charged for setting buildings on fire? That is the people’s house. They have as much right to enter it as the reprobates who were elected.
any stopping the UNDOCUMENTED pharmacist(s)
UNDOCUMENTED “MDs”,
UNDOCUMENTED weapon and infection couriers,
UNDOCUMENTED traffickers,
UNDOCUMENTED DO”J” seditionists vs. Pres. Trump.
nope. not this century.
Most here on Free Republic and anyone else supporting Trump is a suspect
Welcome to the USSA, comrade.
Compare this to the treatment of the cabal of bureaucrats and appointees who went after Trump based on deliberate lies.
No, it isn’t.
None of those people should ever have gone in there.
It is surprising that only 1 person was killed for transgressing our Nation’s Capitol building.
We won’t make it to the next election people. May as well cancel it now.
Does that include the BLM and Antifa mob that LED THE SO CALLED ATTACKS???
