FBI releases new Capitol Riot video of 'most egregious' assaults on officers
The FBI has released new video from the Capitol Riots to identify the suspects involved. The FBI has arrested more than 300 suspects involved, but the bureau is still having trouble identifying 10 men involved. NBC’s Ken Dilanian joins 'The News with Shepard Smith' to report.

The FBI noted that hundreds of thousands of prior tips helped the agency arrest more than 300 people who participated in the mob invasion of the Capitol complex by supporters of then-President Donald Trump. More than 65 of those people have been charged with assaulting law enforcement officers. “However, some of the most violent offenders have yet to be identified, including the ten seen assaulting officers in the video footage we are releasing today,” the FBI said in a press release. The FBI edited and enhanced the video to highlight the person they are seeking to identify. Earlier this week, authorities arrested two men and charged them with assaulting Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died a day after the riot, and other officers with a substance similar to bear spray. Those men, Julian Elie Khater, 32, of Pennsylvania, and George Pierre Tanios, 39, of West Virginia, are not charged with killing Sicknick. The officer’s cause of death remains publicly unknown. More than a hundred other police officers were injured in the riot, and several officers committed suicide on the heels of attacks. “We know it can be a difficult decision to report information about family, friends, or coworkers, but it is the right thing to do and the FBI continues to need your help to identify these suspects,” D’Antuono said. The FBI asked tipsters to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or to submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. And the agency directed the public to a web site — fbi.gov/capitolviolence — to view additional photos of the suspects being sought. The Capitol riot began shortly after a rally by Trump supporters outside the White House, where they listened to Trump, his family members and allies call for them to help fight back against the confirmation of the election of President Joe Biden. That same day, then-Vice President Mike Pence was presiding over a joint session of Congress to confirm Biden’s election. » Subscribe to CNBC TV: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBCtelevision » Subscribe to CNBC: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBC » Subscribe to CNBC Classic: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBCclassic Turn to CNBC TV for the latest stock market news and analysis.
