Case Summary
Devin Rossman allegedly recorded his participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol on Facebook, posting pictures and sending private messages about entering House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. An anonymous tip brought Rossman to the attention of the FBI, court documents show. Rossman allegedly wore a tan jacket, jeans, a baseball cap and sunglasses to the Capitol, an outfit prosecutors say can be seen on surveillance footage from inside the building. The FBI says it also has data from Google to show Rossman’s phone inside the Capitol. Rossman was arrested in May of 2022.
