The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) questioned a left-wing activist regarding his entry into the U.S. Capitol in order to “document” the siege. He is now the subject of a criminal complaint in conjunction with alleged participation, according to the Justice Department.
John Sullivan, an admitted Black Lives Matter (BLM) activist, claimed that he entered the U.S. Capitol building with the rioters to document the event. However, after further investigation, evidence showed that Sullivan is an alleged participant and instigator.
Fox News first reported about the participation of a BLM activist in the U.S. Capitol attack last week.
In the video he provided to the FBI, Sullivan can be heard instigating protesters, according to a federal criminal complaint. He has also shared that video to his YouTube and Twitter accounts under the pseudonym Jayden X.
FBI Special Agent Matthew Foulger signed an affidavit stating Sullivan entered the building and told rioters, “We gotta get this s— burned! It’s our house motherf—-!”
