The DOJ announced charges against two men for conspiring to injure officers and assaulting federal officers during the US Capitol attack in January. The men were alleged to have sprayed a chemical substance on three law enforcement officers, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick (who later died, though a cause of death has not yet been released). Over 300 people have been charged with federal offenses related to the riot.
