According to court documents, Jay Johnston was near the front of the mob illegally amassed in the West Plaza of the Capitol.
An actor and comedian who voiced a character on “Bob’s Burgers” and had roles on “Better Call Saul” and “Mr. Show with Bob and David” is expected to plead guilty to at least one charge next month connected to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
While inside the tunnel, Johnston was handed a stolen U.S. Capitol police riot shield by other rioters, autorities say. He then participated with other rioters in a group push effort against the police in the tunnel, federal prosecutors contend. Johnston left the tunnel at 3:13 p.m. carrying another stolen U.S. Capitol Police riot shield, which he handed to another rioter as he left the tunnel, prosecutors allege.
