Fairchild allegedly grabbed the security gate and attempted to break through the police line. He encouraged others in the crowd to move the barrier also. He is pictured entering the Capitol at approximately 3:09 PM. Once inside, he walked along with the crowd and was filming.
Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
