 Federal prosecutors say Cook violently participated in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and delayed the certification of the Electoral College votes from the 2020 election. Officials say in one instance, Cook pushed a Metropolitan police officer and took that person's baton. He then punched another police officer. The U.S. Attorney's Office says since the January 6th rioting, more than 1,400 people have been charged with crimes relating to breaching the U.S. Capitol.
