Director Wray: Members of the public can help by providing tips, information, and videos of illegal activity at https://t.co/buMd8vYXzH. We are determined to find those responsible and ensure justice is served.

Director Christopher Wray condemned the “violence and destruction of property” at the Capitol building, calling it a “blatant and appalling disregard for our institutions of government and the orderly administration of the democratic process.”
“Make no mistake: With our partners, we will hold accountable those who participated in yesterday’s siege of the Capitol,” he said.
The FBI is working with federal, state and local partners to investigate and find anyone involved in criminal activity.
The Metropolitan Police Department also asked for the public’s help identifying persons of interest involved in the chaos at the Capitol and is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for anyone who can provide information that leads to an arrest.
The department shared dozens of photos of persons of interest connected to the incident.
Anyone with information should call police at 202-727-9099 or text the department’s tip line at 50411.
