A New Jersey man with alleged ties to Nazism was convicted for his actions during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol after claiming he was unaware that Congress meets under that big dome.
Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, a former Army reservist, got eye-rolls from jurors in Washington D.C. when he claimed that he had some familiarity with the building he and scores of Donald Trump loyalists descended up on to stop the certification of the 2020 election, but according to CNN, didn’t know specifics.
“I thought there were several buildings called ‘Capitol building,’” Hale-Cusanelli said Thursday. “I did not realize that Congress met in the Capitol.”
