Newly sworn in Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) also noted that his panic buttons had not even been installed yet, and were only put in place after the attack.

Remember I’m new to congress. I was sworn in on Jan 3rd. There were no panic buttons in my office on the 3rd. They were just installed today.

The New York Times reported that far-right activist Ali Alexander has in recent days said that Reps Mo Brooks, Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs were involved in the attack on the Capitol Building.

As Blavity previously reported, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn said the rioters that invaded the building had a curiously specific understanding of how to navigate the halls of Congress.

"I do believe that something was going on. They knew where to go. I've been told…by some other Congresspeople that their staff are saying that they saw people being allowed into the building through side doors," Clyburn told CBSN anchor Lana Zak.

"Who opened those side doors for these protesters, or I call them these mobsters, to come into the building, not through the main entrance where magnetometers are but through side doors. Yes, somebody on the inside of those buildings were complicit in this," he added.
