U.S. Attorney Halsey Frank Statement on Violence at U.S. Capital

"Our democratic republic is designed to resolve contentious disagreements in a peaceful and orderly fashion. It accommodates differences of opinion, political speechmaking, and peaceful protest. It does not tolerate mob violence. Such violence is antithetical to our values and is a crime. If the District of Maine has jurisdiction over any of the criminal activity that took place at the U.S. Capitol yesterday, we will prosecute it."
