According to the United States Department of Justice, Ryan filmed a series of videos while on the Capitol grounds. In one video, Ryan recorded himself saying, “We knocked down the gates! We’re storming the Capitol! You can’t stop us!”
Federal officials said Ryan later wrote to an associate about his involvement in the riots. Ryan wrote, “Broke down the doors, pushed Congress out of session, I took two flash bangs, I’m ok, I’ll be posting pictures in a little bit when we get back, I’m hurt but we accomplished the job.”
