State Department aide appointed by Trump stormed the Capitol, beat police with a riot shield, FBI saysKlein was still employed at the State Department as a staff assistant on Jan. 6 when he joined a mob in the a tunnel leading into the U.S. Capitol, the FBI said. Then he allegedly physically and verbally engaged with the officers holding the line at the buildings entrance, according to the complaint. After ignoring officers orders to move back, he assaulted officers with a riot shield that had been stolen from police, the complaint said, and then used the shield to wedge open a door into the Capitol.
At one point, Klein was caught on video shouting for more insurrectionists to come to the front lines, where officers were struggling to hold back the mob.
We need fresh people, need fresh people, he said, according to the complaint.

They are traitors sitting in our midst, plotting against us and they need to pay the price for their treachery.
