The son of a Brooklyn judge was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday morning for his involvement in the Capitol riots.
Aaron Mostofsky was arrested in the New York area and is due to make a first appearance in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday. He faces four charges, including theft of government property and illegal entry.
NBC News previously identified him as one of the protesters, seen in several photos wearing furs and a police vest and carrying a riot cap from the Capitol Police.
Her father, Shlomo Mostofsky, is a judge at Kings County Supreme Court, and his brother Nachman is a senior Republican figure in the neighborhood.
While the riots were still going on, Aaron Mostofsky gave an interview to the NY Post in which he said he believed the election was stolen and that he was exercising his rights.
The FBI, in a criminal complaint, said Mostofsky posted on social media accounts as early as 2018 about wanting to protest or riot over defeats in the Republican elections.
