FILE - In this Jan. 6, 2021 file photo rioters supporting President Donald Trump storm the Capitol in Washington. Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, a U.S. Army reservist who worked on a Navy base stormed the U.S. Capitol because he wanted to kick off a civil war and create a clean slate, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at the start of the New Jersey man's trial. A lawyer for Hale-Cusanelli told jurors that groupthink and a desperate desire to be heard drove him to follow a mob into the Capitol.

The FBI just released new images from the Capitol siege on Jan. 6 last year.

The photos released on social media Friday are of men accused of attacking law enforcement during the riot at the U.S. Capitol, when a crowd of angry demonstrators supporting soon-to-be former President Donald Trump demanded that the counting of presidential electoral votes be stopped, then surrounded the Capitol and broke into the building.

Lawmakers scattered, police were beaten and a woman was fatally shot as she tried to climb through a barricaded doorway that led to the House floor.

The riot led to hundreds facing multiple federal charges, and the FBI is still looking to identify some who were there.
