A man who joined the pro-Trump mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol has apologized to officers who protected the building on Jan. 6, 2021.
The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is hearing testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide in Donald Trump's White House.
"I was very upset, as were most of his supporters," Ayres said when asked about Trump's unfounded election claims. Asked by Rep. Liz Cheney if he still believes the election was stolen, Ayres said,"Not so much now." His testimony echoed the words of many Capitol rioters who have expressed remorse for their crimes at sentencing hearings.
In his court case, Ayres admitted that he drove from Ohio to Washington on the eve of the"Stop the Steal" rally to protest Congress' certification of the Electoral College vote count. He entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing doors and remained inside for about 10 minutes, joining other rioters in chanting.
