CHICAGO (AP) — Federal authorities say they have charged an Illinois couple who posed for a photograph inside the U.S. Capitol decked out in Trump attire during the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection.
Forty-six-year-old Christina Gerding and 50-year-old Jason Gerding of Quincy were arrested Thursday on charges including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
In a criminal complaint, federal authorities say posts on Jason Gerding’s social media accounts include references to the conspiracy theory QAnon.
The two are among a handful of Illinois residents who have been charged in the violent assault on the Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.
