A former Drug Enforcement Administration special agent who previously claimed he had been fired for being at the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection is now facing federal charges after prosecutors say he brought his service weapon onto Capitol grounds and lied to the FBI about what he had done that day.
Mark Ibrahim went on Fox News in March and claimed he had traveled cross-country to the Capitol on January 6 because a"friend I served in Iraq with asked me to help him get there for documentation purposes and we were just spectators." Ibrahim went on to say that he had videotaped the commotion"so those criminals could face justice," and that he had never set foot on the stairs of the Capitol.
