    STATEMENT OF FACTS
    Your affiant, is a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of
    Investigation (FBI) and has been in that position since June 2014. As a Special Agent, I am
    authorized by law to engage in or supervise the prevention, detention, investigation, or
    prosecution of violations of Federal criminal laws. I am currently tasked with investigating
    criminal activity in and around the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021.
    Unless otherwise stated, the information in this Affidavit is either personally known to
    me, has been provided to me by other individuals, or is based on a review of various documents,
    records, and reports. Because this Affidavit is submitted for the limited purpose of establishing
    probable cause to support an application for an arrest warrant, it does not contain every fact
    known by me or the United States. The dates listed in this Affidavit should be read as “on or
    about” dates.
    The U.S. Capitol is secured 24 hours a day by U.S. Capitol Police. Restrictions around
    the U.S. Capitol include permanent and temporary security barriers and posts manned by U.S.
    Capitol Police. Only authorized people with appropriate identification were allowed access
    inside the U.S. Capitol. On January 6, 2021, the exterior plaza of the U.S. Capitol was also
    closed to members of the public.
    On January 6, 2021, a joint session of the United States Congress convened at the United
    States Capitol, which is located at First Street, SE, in Washington, D.C. During the joint session,
    elected members of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate
    were meeting in separate chambers of the United States Capitol to certify the vote count of the
    Electoral College of the 2020 Presidential Election, which had taken place on November 3, 2020.
    The joint session began at approximately 1:00 p.m. Shortly thereafter, by approximately 1:30
    p.m., the House and Senate adjourned to separate chambers to resolve a particular objection.
    Vice President Mike Pence was present and presiding, first in the joint session, and then in the
    Senate chamber.
    As the proceedings continued in both the House and the Senate, and with Vice President
    Mike Pence present and presiding over the Senate, a large crowd gathered outside the U.S.
    Capitol. As noted above, temporary and permanent barricades were in place around the exterior
    of the U.S. Capitol building, and U.S. Capitol Police were present and attempting to keep the
    crowd away from the Capitol building and the proceedings underway inside.
    At such time, the certification proceedings were still underway and the exterior doors and
    windows of the U.S. Capitol were locked or otherwise secured. Members of the U.S. Capitol
    Police attempted to maintain order and keep the crowd from entering the Capitol; however,
    shortly around 2:00 p.m., individuals in the crowd forced entry into the U.S. Capitol, including
    by breaking windows and by assaulting members of the U.S. Capitol Police, as others in the
    crowd encouraged and assisted those acts.
    Shortly thereafter, at approximately 2:20 p.m. members of the United States House of
    Representatives and United States Senate, including the President of the Senate, Vice President
    Mike Pence, were instructed to—and did—evacuate the chambers. Accordingly, the joint session
    of the United States Congress was effectively suspended until shortly after 8:00 p.m. Vice
    President Pence remained in the United States Capitol from the time he was evacuated from the
    Senate Chamber until the sessions resumed.
    During national news coverage of the aforementioned events, video footage which
    appeared to be captured on mobile devices of persons present on the scene depicted evidence of
    violations of local and federal law, including scores of individuals inside the U.S. Capitol
    building without authority to be there.
    As detailed below, during the course of the investigation into the events of January 6,
    2021, law enforcement learned that THOMAS B. ADAMS, JR. (ADAMS) of Springfield,
    Illinois, traveled to the District of Columbia to participate in a rally and protest at the U.S.
    Capitol and gained entry inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
    On January 7, 2021, the global news and lifestyle publication Insider published an article
    by Abigail Higgins on the internet titled “Men who joined in violently storming the U.S. Capitol
    describe a carnival atmosphere inside.”1
    The article reported that THOMAS ADAMS, 39, traveled from Springfield, Illinois for a
    rally at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and was one of the first people to set foot in the U.S.
    Capitol. The article described ADAMS’ account as follows:
    a. The article reported ADAMS trampled over police barricades and made his way
    into the halls of government eventually reaching the Senate chamber, where
    lawmakers had been evacuated.
    b. The article quoted ADAMS describing the events, “It was a really fun time.”
    ADAMS, wearing a President Trump flag around his neck, later showed
    cell phone footage of his escapades to a journalist.
    c. The article reported ADAMS’ account of the events and was also backed up by
    his video and posts on social media. ADAMS saw people scaling the scaffolding
    on the side of the building and followed them.
    d. The article reported when ADAMS got to the top, he observed rioters smash a
    window on the building ahead of him and make entry. The same rioters began
    opening doors and letting people inside the U.S. Capitol, including ADAMS.
    e. The article further reported that ADAMS’ video confirmed his account that there
    was a line of police officers waiting in the hallway to see what the people who
    breached the U.S. Capitol building would do next. The article quoted ADAMS:
    “They weren’t really doing much. A few of them had batons, just waiting to see
    if we'd try to push past them.”

    f. The article reported ADAMS followed the mob down the hallway and onto the
    floor of the chamber. Inside, a shirtless man with an animal skin headdress and
    his face painted red, white, and blue stood at the speaker's chair, wielding a
    bullhorn and flexing his biceps.
    g. In the article, ADAMS was quoted describing the scene as “hilarious.” ADAMS
    continued to film on his phone while people walked up and down the Senate halls,
    taking selfies and calling their families. Others tore drawers open and pulled
    reams of documents out of desks, spreading them over tables and throwing them
    across the floor.
    Your affiant conducted public record database checks which revealed a THOMAS B.
    ADAMS JR., (39 years of age), with a last known address including a street name and number
    located in Springfield, Illinois (the Residence).
    On January 7, 2021, your affiant conducted a drive-by spot check of the Residence and
    observed a 2013 Volkswagen Passat, Illinois license plate number [redacted], parked in the
    driveway of the Residence. A check of vehicle registration records revealed ADAMS as the
    registered owner of a gray 2013 Volkswagen Passat, Illinois license plate matching that observed
    by your affiant and registered to the Residence in Springfield, Illinois.
    On February 4, 2021, your affiant interviewed ADAMS. ADAMS admitted to being at
    the Capitol, and in the U.S. Capitol building. ADAMS admitted to being on the floor of the
    Senate on January 6, 2021. ADAMS said that the door to the U.S. Capitol building was open
    when ADAMS walked in. ADAMS said that he did not realize that things were not peaceful
    until after he and his friend walked into the Capitol building over broken glass.
    ADAMS said that after walking into the Capitol building, ADAMS turned around and
    realized the person who held the door open was holding a door open that had a broken
    window. ADAMS said that he and his friend thought it was supposed to be a peaceful occupy.
    Other than to occupy, ADAMS said that he did not go into the Capitol building with an agenda.
    They did not try to destroy anything inside the Capitol building, he said.
    ADAMS described the inside of the U.S. Capitol building as “beautiful.” ADAMS said
    that he understood that they did not want them inside the building but believed it was a public
    access building. ADAMS said he did not realize they had illegally breached the building until he
    was walking on glass. By the time ADAMS and his friend got there, he said the door was open
    and there were people pouring in. ADAMS said he saw people running into the building and
    grabbing stuff to take with them. Once ADAMS saw the doors open, he said he thought they
    were going to occupy the building. ADAMS said he thought to himself, “What are they going to
    do if a half a million people are here and standing inside of a building and want to be heard?”
    ADAMS said he did not know who the “Proud Boys” were until approximately five days before
    they arrived. ADAMS said he did know until he got home that a group of black people, calling
    themselves the “Not Fucking Around Crew” (NFAC), were also there on that day. ADAMS said
    he heard there were possible factions of Antifa that were there that possibly created the problem
    that started in the Rotunda.
    ADAMS said he and his friend didn’t walk towards the Capitol until the large group
    started walking there. ADAMS said that by the time he and his friend got to the U.S. Capitol,
    there was no fenced-in perimeter. When they got closer to the U.S. Capitol building, ADAMS
    said he heard concussion grenades going off. When they approached the back steps of the
    Capitol building, ADAMS said he observed people crying and dumping water all over
    themselves. ADAMS said he recorded videos of himself and his friend inside the Capitol
    building. A screen capture of ADAMS’ friend that ADAMS took inside the Capitol on January
    6, 2021, with his cell phone showed:

    ADAMS identified the photo to your affiant, said that he took it with his own cell phone, and
    that it was taken inside the U.S. Capitol and that it depicted his friend who was also present at
    and in the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. ADAMS said that he and his friend entered the
    building from the back door, where people had breached with window washing equipment.
    ADAMS said they were let in the building and then forced out of one of the side doors.
    ADAMS said that the worst thing that he did while he was inside the Capitol building
    was to try to find his friend’s glasses on the ground as they were being pushed out of the door.
    ADAMS said that his friend got shoved into a female cop by a group of people that were arguing
    with the cops. A male cop grabbed his friend’s glasses and ripped them off his face so they
    could try and mace him. ADAMS said he attempted to upload a couple cell phone videos he
    recorded to his Snapchat account. ADAMS said he heard other people yelling, “Let’s take the
    White House,” and “Let’s storm this place and show them they can’t make us leave,” and “They
    can’t arrest us all.” Eventually, ADAMS said, they walked up some stairs to get to the Senate
    floor. Inside the Senate chambers, ADAMS said he observed other individuals going through
    desks and a guy in a Viking hat near the podium leading a prayer.
    ADAMS confirmed with you affiant that he was the person in a photograph inside the
    U.S. Capitol building on the Senate chamber floor. ADAMS identified himself as the person in
    the photograph below holding the Trump flag on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
    ADAMS said he believed there were some people there that had an agenda, while other
    innocent people got caught up in it. ADAMS said he didn’t believe that everyone there should
    be in trouble because not everyone did things that were wrong, and some people felt they were
    peacefully entering a building. On their way back to ADAMS’ vehicle after leaving the Capitol
    building, ADAMS said he and his friend spoke with a journalist, Abigail Higgins. ADAMS and
    his friend told Higgins about what they observed inside the Capitol building. ADAMS said he
    was not aware that Higgins published an article which quoted ADAMS and his friend and their
    account of being inside the Capitol building.
    ADAMS showed your affiant cell phone videos he recorded with his cell phone of the
    outside and inside of the U.S. Capitol building on January 6th, 2021. ADAMS signed a consent
    form and produced a wooden dowel rod that ADAMS said was his friend’s, for the purpose of
    affixing a Trump flag to it with zip ties, and a blue “Trump 2020” flag that ADAMS stated he
    wore around his neck while he was inside the Capitol building.
    Your affiant reviewed ADAMS’ driver’s license photograph, social media posted
    photographs, and photographs and videos identified by ADAMS. All images appear to depict
    the same individual known to your affiant as THOMAS B. ADAMS, JR.
    On February 4, 2021, your affiant seized ADAMS’ cell phone pursuant to a search
    warrant. The cell phone was the same cell phone identified by ADAMS as the one he used in the
    U.S. Capitol. A subsequent analysis of ADAMS’ phone revealed the following still shot images
    of a video in ADAMS’ cell phone inside the Chambers of the Floor of the U.S. Senate.

    Also discovered on ADAMS’ cell phone was the following still shot image of a video taken
    inside the U.S. Capitol.
    Additionally, a still shot image of video found on ADAMS’ cell phone showing the forced entry
    into the U.S. Capitol building.
    Based on the foregoing, your affiant submits that there is probable cause to believe that
    THOMAS B. ADAMS, JR. violated 18 U.S.C. §§ 1752(a)(1) and (2), which make it a crime to
    (1) knowingly enter or remain in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so, and (2) knowingly, and with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly Conduct of Government Business or official functions, Read last page at https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/case-multi-defendant/file/1389221/download
