The Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection has been the focus of FBI manhunts for three years, with people from around the country being arrested.
More than 1,265 defendants have been charged by the U.S. Department of Justice. Thirty-five have been found in Maryland, according to the George Washington University’s Capitol Hill Siege Legal Tracker.
Multiple Maryland residents have pleaded guilty, and a handful have gone to trial. Sentences have ranged from probation to multiple years in federal prison. Several have pending cases.
In a speech in Pennsylvania on Jan. 5, President Joe Biden called the siege on the Capitol a moment when “we nearly lost America — lost it all.”
The riot by supporters of former President Donald Trump also spurred one of the Capitol Police officers on duty that day to run for Congress from Maryland. Former officer Harry Dunn announced Friday that he’s seeking the seat being vacated by longtime U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes.
“Today, I’m running for Congress because the forces that spurred that violent attack are still at work and as a patriotic American, it is my duty to defend our democracy,” Dunn said in his announcement.
