When Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, they racked up quite the bill. From covering architectural repairs to the costs of bringing in police and the National Guard, the tab was in the millions. With that in mind, you might think those being charged will have to pay some astronomical fines. But this week, a federal judge pointed out that the restitution prosecutors are asking for is nowhere near enough to cover the damage.
On Monday, Beryl Howell, the chief judge of the federal court in Washington, questioned the Department of Justice about its prosecution plan during a plea hearing for defendant Glenn Croy. Politico reported that Croy was arrested in February on charges of illegally entering the Capitol building.
