Case Summary
The FBI identified Cameron Campanella II as having been inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, based on location records obtained through a search warrant to Google, according to a statement of facts filed in federal court. Federal authorities also allegedly identified Campanella in YouTube footage and in surveillance footage from inside the Capitol building. When the FBI interviewed Campanella in July of 2022, he declined to talk about Jan. 6 but said he was “not scared” and that he thought investigating the riot was "a waste of time."
