Capitol rioters who deleted social media posts of their involvement may have further incriminated themselves INSIDER 11 hrs ago
49 Capitol rioters deleted online content on their involvement, the Associated Press reported.
Only a handful have actually been charged with tampering with evidence.
However, experts say the removal of content could further indict defendants.
Some Capitol rioters who posted images and videos of themselves at the January 6 riot and then deleted them could be in even more legal trouble, the Associated Press reported.
At least 49 people charged in connection with the riots were accused of deleting incriminating content off their social media and phones, the AP found, but only a handful have actually faced charges for tampering with online content.
