FBI arrests Brooklyn judge’s son on Capitol riot charges
Federal agents have arrested the son of a Brooklyn judge on charges that he was among the protesters who stormed the U.S. Capitol, the FBI said Tuesday.
Aaron Mostofsky was picked up at his brother’s home in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning, about a week after he was seen inside the Capitol wearing a fur costume and a police vest that he is accused of stealing during the mayhem.
Court papers show how investigators are combing through internet communications to identify alleged offenders like Mostofsky, who referred to himself as a “caveman” eager to protest the presidential election results.
