The Department of Justice expanded its probe in the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol on Tuesday, announcing that it is now seeking an additional 400 suspects in the attack and that some alleged rioters may be charged with criminal conspiracy and sedition.

The FBI’s Washington field office Assistant Director in Charge, Steven D’Antuono, told a press conference Tuesday that the agency has opened 400 more case files in its investigation into a rally in support of President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the official outcome of the November presidential election that turned into an attack on the U.S. Capitol that left five dead and dozens wounded.
