Indiana man Mark Mazza pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers with one of their own batons during the Jan. 6 insurrection as hearings continue.
Mark Mazza, who told federal investigators he regretted not seeing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the riot and that they would"be here for another reason" if he had, faces a maximum of 20 years for assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon.
Republican lawmakers and conservative allies have often falsely claimed that no weapons were brought to the Capitol to argue the attack was not the violent insurrection that it was.Mazza lost the weapon on Capitol grounds sometime before walking to the Lower West Terrace tunnel where rioters were battling police officers, according to the plea.
