Capitol rioter says he was the real victim on January 6 - but video shows otherwise

A Trump supporter who took part in the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol building argued that he was a victim of police brutality -- but video obtained by prosecutors directly contradicts his claims.

WUSA 9 reports that an attorney representing Maryland resident and accused MAGA rioter Daniel Egtvedt claimed that her client was "violently assaulted by police officers, not once, but twice" during the Trump-inciting insurrection.

However, prosecutors countered that surveillance footage taken from the Capitol on January 6th shows that "at one point, as five officers attempted to hold him back, Egtvedt tried to charge at a police officer even as another DC Police officer tried to grab Egtvedt by his waist to stop him."
