Seattle man charged with assaulting a federal officer during Capitol riots
A Seattle man was charged Thursday with assaulting a federal police officer during the riots at the U.S Capitol on Wednesday, according to authorities. Mark J. Leffingwell, 51, allegedly entered the Senate side of the Capitol during the siege, and when stopped by law enforcement, struck an officer in the helmet and chest, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a release. Capitol Police officer Daniel Amendola said he encountered Leffingwell while forming a barrier with other officers to block a crowd from entering the Senate wing of the Capitol through a first-floor window, according to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S.
