l. At another time in the video, SULLIVAN is walking down a hallway in the
14
U.S. Capitol with a large group of people. SULLIVAN pans to a closed door and
can be heard saying, “Why don’t we go in there.” After someone hits against the
door, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “That’s what I’m sayin’, break that shit.”
Further down the hall, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “It would be fire if someone
had revolutionary music and shit.”
m. In the video, once SULLIVAN reaches the Speaker’s Lobby, where Victim
1 was eventually shot, SULLIVAN can be heard telling one of the law enforcement
officers guarding the doors, as seen in the screenshot below, “We want you to go
home. I’m recording and there’s so many people and they’re going to push their
way up here. Bro, I’ve seen people out there get hurt. I don’t want to see you get
hurt.”
n. Eventually, the law enforcement officers begin to exit and individuals within
the crowd move toward the doors. As this is happening, SULLIVAN can be heard
yelling after the officers, “I want you to go home,” and then yelling, “Go! Go! Get
15
this shit!” SULLIVAN then films as others in the crowd try to break out the glass
in the entryway door windows. Shortly thereafter, the video includes footage of
Victim 1 getting shot as she tries to enter through the window opening.
21. Subsequent to the events at the U.S. Capitol, SULLIVAN provided interviews to
various news outlets including CNN and ABC’s Good Morning America program. In the
interviews, SULLIVAN described the scene inside the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.
22. On January 11, 2021, your affiant conducted a voluntary interview with SULLIVAN at SULLIVAN’s residence. The interview was recorded. In the interview, SULLIVAN again confirmed that he was in the U.S. Capitol, but denied having a knife. He also showed me the
ballistic vest and two gas masks he stated he had in Washington, D.C. Based on my review of the video described above, the ballistic vest and one of the gas masks that SULLIVAN showed during the interview on January 11, 2021, is the same seen in the video of SULLIVAN’s activities at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
23. At various times in his statements to law forcement, to others inside the U.S. Capitol that were recorded in his video, and to news outlets, SULLIVAN has claimed he was at the U.S. Capitol only to document and report. In addition, your affiant is aware that, at various times,
SULLIVAN has claimed to be a journalist. He has admitted, however, that he has no press credentials and the investigation has not revealed any connection between SULLIVAN and any journalistic organizations.
