The government recorded a conversation in which Hale admitted he was inside the Capitol. He says he encouraged the crowd and called for more people to join. Inside, he picked up a fallen American flag so he could properly dispose of it.
The government indicates Hale shares his political viewpoints on YouTube. However, it has not documented in a public forum any violent acts he committed on Jan. 6th.
Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
