A January 6, 2021, rioter has pleaded guilty to carrying a loaded firearm on US Capitol grounds and assaulting police officers with one of their own batons during the insurrection
Mark Mazza, who told federal investigators he regretted not seeing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the riot and that they would"be here for another reason" if he had, faces a maximum of 20 years for assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon. Jan. 6 hearings have revealed a ton of new material.
The plea agreement also states that after Mazza was pushed out of the tunnel by police officers, he"took steps to assist" Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was dragged out into the crowd and beaten. Mazza, the agreement says,"was in close physical proximity to and took steps to assist the officer from being further assaulted by members of the riot."Mazza left Capitol grounds only after law enforcement deployed flash-bang grenades later that day, the agreement says.
