Federal law enforcement officials said on Tuesday that after compiling more than 200,000 tips, there have been 400 suspects identified from the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol.
Of those, 135 people have been arrested, according to Steven D’Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office.
Of the 400 suspects, D’Antuono said officials are especially interested in the suspects involved in planting pipe bombs outside the offices of the Democratic and Republican National Committees.
