Acting US Attorney Michael Sherwin said prosecutors expect to file 15 federal criminal cases related to the incident at the Capitol. One man who was arrested had a military semi-automatic rifle and 11 Molotov cocktails "that were ready to go."
He said, "This is just the beginning," and more charges are expected.
Sherwin said an additional 40 cases were filed in Washington DC Superior Court. Charges include unlawful entry, assault, firearms possession

Regarding the 15 federal cases, charges include unauthorized entry, firearms possession, theft.
Sherwin said charges such as seditious conspiracy, rioting and insurrection are not off the table. For context, Acting AG Rosen issued a memo to federal prosecutors regarding charging protesters with sedition: https://twitter.com/bykristinep/status/1347170835438710786
Sherwin said they have not identified rioters' group affiliations or any kind of chain of command. Most of those who've been charged are from out of town.
