The DOJ added:

‘Thursday, Jan. 6 2022, marks one year since the attack on the U.S. Capitol that disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress in the process of affirming the presidential election results.’

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the FBI have been investigating “those responsible for the attack.” And they intend to prosecute them “at an unprecedented speed and scale:”

  • ‘More than 725 defendants have been arrested in nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia. (This includes those charged in both District and Superior Court).
  • 225-plus defendants have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees
  • 75 individuals have been charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.
  • Approximately 140 police officers were assaulted Jan. 6 at the Capitol.
  • About 80 U.S. Capitol Police and about 60 from the Metropolitan Police Department were assaulted.
  • Approximately 10 individuals have been arrested on a series of charges that relate to assaulting a member of the media, or destroying their equipment, on Jan. 6.
  • Approximately 640 defendants have been charged with entering or remaining in a restricted federal building or grounds…
  • At least 275 defendants have been charged with corruptly obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding, or attempting to do so.
  • Approximately 40 defendants have been charged with conspiracy, either:
    • (a) conspiracy to obstruct a congressional proceeding,
    • (b) conspiracy to obstruct law enforcement during a civil disorder,
    • (c) conspiracy to injure an officer, or
    • (d) some combination of the three.’

The FBI’s and DOJ’s investigation continues:

‘The government continues to investigate losses that resulted from the breach of the Capitol, including damage to the Capitol building and grounds, both inside and outside the building. According to a May 2021 estimate by the Architect of the Capitol, the attack caused approximately $1.5 million worth of damage to the U.S. Capitol building.’

The DOJ has also made its statistics available to the public.
