An attorney representing a former federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent who was arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol incident said Thursday that his client committed “no crime” and accused the Justice Department of missing the mark in building its case.
According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the former agent, Mark Sami Ibrahim of California, was arrested Tuesday and charged with four crimes: making a false statement; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a firearm; stepping or climbing on features of the Capitol grounds in a way that causes injury to property; and remaining on Capitol grounds with a firearm.
