A Texas man who says he was “set up for prosecution” for shooting video of a U.S. Capitol window smashing on Jan. 6, 2021, wants to compel prosecutors to identify suspicious actors or informants who could have been behind the vandalism.

Ryan S. Zink, 34, of Lubbock, Texas, filed a motion with U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington to force the government to identify “individuals suspected of being confidential government sources, undercover agents, or protected Antifa assets.”
