A man suspected to be involved in the 6 January Capitol Hill riots sold the rights to a video of the chaos to CNN and NBC News for $35,000 (£25,300) each.
John Sullivan, a videographer from Utah who shares videos through his Insurgence USA website, is being accused of participating in the Capitol riots even as he has maintained that he attends such demonstrations as a journalist.
A federal magistrate judge refused the prosecutions plea to ban him from using social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook but directed him to end his association with Insurgence USA, which according to the Justice Department glorifies violent protests, reported Politico.
It was during this hearing on Tuesday that Mr Sullivans lawyer revealed to court invoices that showed his firm being paid $35,000 (£25,300) each by CNN and NBC News for footage of the riots.

As another stated, he is the big "Antifa" agitator who was supposed to have caused the whole crisis. His name appeared on Rudy G's phone along with notes to blame him for this. His brother also happens to be a leader of a Proud Boys affiliated group.
He is a provocateur. I don't think any ideology just pure greed (with a touch of just wanting the world to burn).
