Case Summary
An anonymous tip to the FBI identified Timothy Wayne Williams as entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after attending President Trump’s rally, according to court documents. In March, the FBI interviewed Williams in person, where he confirmed to the agents that he had entered the building. Williams also told the FBI that he previously worked for a company called “GrowGeneration,” a hydroponics equipment supplier, but lost his job because he would not take a COVID-19 test. He denied having been involved in any acts of violence or property damage but stated that he “got pushed” inside the building by the crowd and that he saw people “tearing things up inside.”
