Associated Press WASHINGTON— The insur- rectionist mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol at the president’s beh- est last week was overwhelmingly made up of longtime Trump sup- porters, including Republican Party officials, GOP political do- nors, far-right militants, white su- premacists, and adherents of the QAnon myth that the government is secretly controlled by a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophile can- nibals. Records show that some were heavily armed and included convicted criminals, such as a Florida man recently released from prison for attempted murder. The Associated Press reviewed social media posts, voter registra- tions, court files and other public records for more than 120 people either facing criminal charges re- lated to the Jan. 6 unrest or who, going maskless amid the pandem- ic, were later identified through photographs and videos taken dur- MANUEL BALCE CENETA/AP ing the melee.

Man pleads guilty to assaulting mail carrier RICHMOND — Feder- VA al prosecutors said a Virginia man has pleaded guilty to assaulting a U.S. Postal Service carrier in Richmond. Court documents say that the assault happened on June 5, 2020. According to a news release from federal prosecutors, Erriette Wil- liams, 45, approached a carrier delivering mail in a neighborhood north of downtown. Williams grabbed a key from the carrier and dared him to take the key back, then punched him in the face. The key was for a parcel locker. Authorities say the assault was captured on video. The mail carrier had lacera- tions on his face and required medical attention, according to the news release. Williams is scheduled to be sen- tenced on May 7.
