Documents from the court state that Johnston entered upper west tunnel where the violent attacks on Jan. 6, took place, and “assisted three other rioters” by pouring water onto their faces. The documents state that he then used a stolen U.S. Capitol Police Shield as rioters fought with police.
According to the FBI, an attorney representing Johnston called the National Threat Operations Center in March 2021. Three Johnston associates, either current or former, told the FBI the photos taken on January 6 depicted Johnston.
