The U.S. Justice Department expects to charge at least 100 more people for taking part in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, signaling prosecutors are far from finished investigating an attack that a judge on Thursday called an act of terrorism.

"Over 400 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack," federal prosecutors said in a court filing on Thursday. "The investigation continues and the government expects that at least one hundred additional individuals will be charged."

"The investigation and prosecution of the Capitol attack will likely be one of the largest in American history, both in terms of the number of defendants prosecuted and the nature and volume of the evidence," the court filings stated. The violence started shortly after Trump rallied his supporters and urged them to fight to stop the certification of Biden's win.A magistrate judge in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia described the attack as an act of terrorism during a court hearing for Charles Donohue, a leader of the Proud Boys extremist right-wing group.

Talk about your witch hunts. My god how one sided can we get

At least!

Not a single firearm yet it's called an insurrection. The Capital police officer died of natural causes yet they held 2 for his death. How do you charge without knowing how the person passed? Waters can call for being more confrontational, inciting riots, and nothing is done?

Why not arrest anyone that even thought of going too. Seems to be the way America is going. They'll be holding them in concentration camps next.

Sweeeeet. The more the better!

Not arresting fast enough

Why do few?

Great arrest them all because it was a horrible day for America committed by people who are un American...

Get them ALL

And that will bring us to what.. 150 total arrests? 🤣

Trespassing held without bail? Yet gun charges released hmmm
