Federal prosecutors in the District of Columbia have obtained the first indictments of individuals for activities relating to the Jan. 6 violent breach of the U.S. Capitol.

Mark Leffingwell has been charged with assaulting a federal police officer when a group of rioters and protesters forced their way into the building while lawmakers were in the process of certifying Electoral College votes for president.
