FBI begins arresting individuals who attacked reporters on Jan. 6

The Justice Department has begun arresting individuals who attacked reporters or damaged their equipment during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, The Washington Post reports.

Driving the news: The first such charge came last week when Shane Jason Woods of Illinois was charged with engaging in violence on the Capitol grounds and was caught on video knocking down a cameraman, per The Post.

On Thursday, FBI agents arrested Joshua Dillon Haynes of Virginia, who was charged with smashing journalists' equipment outside the Capitol.

Haynes was the fifth person arrested in connection with attacks on the media in less than a week, The Post reports.
