The Federal Bureau of Investigation has confirmed that another suspect was arrested in connection with the Capitol Incident, according to the Bureau's spokesperson.
The suspect, Aaron Mostofsky, was arrested in New York City on Tuesday.
Mostofsky, the son of a prominent member of the Orthodox Jewish Community and elected Supreme Judge in Brooklyn, was seen in photographs of the mob which stormed the Capitol Building on 6 January.
The rioter was one of the protesters who talked to journalists inside the Capitol Building. In an interview with the New York Post, he said that 85 million people voted for Trump rather than the 75 million as had been announced. He added that certain states, which had been “red” for a long time and then turned “blue”, including New York, “were stolen”.
As of Tuesday, dozens have been arrested in connection with Wednesday’s outburst and charged with entering or remaining in any restricted building, unlawful entry and assaulting federal law enforcement officers.
On 6 January, Trump supporters stormed Capitol Hill as Congress was certifying President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The incident resulted in five deaths and a large number of injuries.
