The man, who has not been identified publicly, was outside the Capitol as the attempted insurrection was underway, and he does not appear to have been charged in connection with the events of that day, according to Punchbowl News, which broke the news of the Jan. 6 committee having video of both the man being given a tour, and his alleged threats.
