Authorities say Christian Cortez and Benjamin Larocca, both of Seabrook, drove a rental car to Washington, D.C. to attend the march, and entered the Capitol building during the attack. The two men were identified using footage recorded throughout the day, according to court documents.
In one video, Cortez appears on Capitol grounds near a line of officers, alongside other pro-Trump extremists.
