An Illinois man who breached the US Capitol on January 6 is facing a slew of charges after he gave an interview about the incident to Insider, a recent filing from the Department of Justice shows.
Federal authorities charged Thomas Adams, 39, with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, obstruction of an official proceeding, and knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, according to a complaint obtained by Insider.
An affidavit from FBI Special Agent Christopher E. Drabicki against Adams said that Insider published an article one day after the Capitol insurrection that included statements and interviews from Adams and his friend about their experiences.
