Case Summary
Joshua Munn was allegedly at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with his parents and two sisters, who are all also charged in relation to the riot, and one unnamed child who is not charged. Security footage from inside the building that day indicate that Joshua Munn entered the Capitol with other members of his family, according to court documents, and he also allegedly appeared in a video livestreamed from inside the Capitol by the far-right extremist known as "Baked Alaska." On Jan. 6, 2021, Joshua Munn reportedly posted on Facebook, “Before you hear it on the news ... family marched on DC today it was extremely cool we did enter the Capitol building." Cellphone records that the FBI obtained from Verizon also place Joshua Munn inside the Capitol that day, court documents indicate. According to news reports, Joshua Munn lives in Wisconsin, while the others charged in his family live in Texas.
