Hundreds of convictions, but a major mystery is still unsolved 3 years after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot
Three years after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Washington’s federal courthouse is flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings stemming from the largest criminal investigation in American history. And the hunt for suspects is far from over. Authorities are working to identify more than 80 people wanted for acts of violence at the Capitol. They also want to identity the person who placed pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic national committees’ offices the day before the Capitol attack. They continue to regularly make new arrests, even as some Jan. 6 defendants are being released from prison after completing their sentences. About 750 defendants have been sentenced, most receiving time behind bars.
