The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

Approximately 1,583 individuals were charged with federal crimes related to the attack.

Over 608 defendants were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement, with 174 involving deadly or dangerous weapons.

Weapons used during the riot included firearms, chemical sprays, tasers, knives, and makeshift items such as furniture and flagpoles.

Approximately 1,009 individuals had pleaded guilty, including 327 to felonies such as assaulting officers and obstructing law enforcement.

Over 260 individuals were found guilty at trial or through stipulated facts, including 10 convictions for seditious conspiracy.

Approximately 1,100 defendants received sentences, with 667 serving prison time and 145 serving sentences under home detention.
