The U.S. Justice Department on Friday released a partially blacked-out document explaining the justification for an FBI search of former president Donald Trump's Florida estate earlier this month, when agents removed top secret government records and other classified documents.
Khater and Tanios are not charged with killing Sicknick, the Reuters news agency reported.
The Washington Post reported they “are charged with nine counts including assaulting three officers with a deadly weapon”. Khater is from Pennsylvania and Tanios is from Morgantown, West Virginia, the paper said. They are expected to appear in a federal court on Monday.
The charging documents for Khater and Tanios are not currently available in the US online court system or the Justice Department’s database of Capitol riot investigations.
The Post, which has seen the charging documents, said an FBI agent claims Tanios said “Hold on, hold on, not yet, not yet … it’s still early”, after Khater asked for the spray, drawing from the video seen by the agent.
