Federal authorities have charged Thomas DiMassimo, the man who rushed the stage at a Donald Trump campaign event on Saturday in Vandalia, Ohio.

DiMassimo is charged with one count of knowingly entering restricted grounds. He is scheduled to appear in federal court on March 23 at 10:30 a.m. in Dayton, Ohio.

A criminal information was filed in the case by the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Ohio, Monday.

DiMassimo’s attorney, Jon Paul Rion, tells ABC News, "All the evidence is clear that Thomas really meant to do nothing except to assert a political view point.”

Two men, two separate behaviors and two separate duties.
