"In addition to that, we're looking at and taking a priority with cases in which weapons were involved and cases in which destructive devices were involved".
Sherwin said this includes individuals who potentially committed crimes inside or outside the Capitol grounds.
Earlier that day, President Trump had held a rally in which he encouraged his supporters to walk to the Capitol and "fight like hell" in an effort to disrupt the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's November victory.

Describing the challenge of distinguishing online "bravado" from actionable threats, D'Antuono said: "As offensive as a statement can be the FBI cannot open an investigation, without a threat of violence or alleged criminal activity".
