The FBI has appealed for people to help identify the Capitol rioters on Thursday, as some of the more prominent members of the pro-Trump mob began to be named online.

Colt was identified by the Idaho Statesman after he was photographed on the Senate floor, where he sat in the chair of the president of the Senate, Mike Pence. The Statesman reported that Colt, 34, is from Boise and is the CEO of a company called Funnel Craft LLC.

“I hopped down into the chamber and I was the first one to sit in Nancy Pelosi’s [chair],” Colt said in a video posted to, and later removed from, Facebook. Colt had apparently confused the Senate with the House of Representatives.
