A lawmaker from West Virginia who filmed himself while protesters entered the U.S. Capitol building in Washington earlier this week has been federally charged for entering a restricted area of the building.

Derrick Evans, 35, a Republican and member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, was among other people from the state who traveled to Washington to attend the multi-day rallies that were organized near the White House against the Electoral College results and alleged election fraud.
