FBI affidavit details how a Trump supporter turned over evidence to a 'nice FBI lady' and explained walking into 'big boss' Nancy Pelosi's office

An FBI affidavit filed this week details at length how one Trump supporter who participated in the Capitol siege turned over evidence of his potential crimes to an FBI agent.

Lyons was charged with "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority" and "violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds."Federal agents have arrested more than 30 people since a violent mob of President Donald Trump's supporters laid siege to the US Capitol last week to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

One photo Lyons posted to his Instagram account was a screenshot of a map depicting the route from Lyons' home in the Chicago area to Washington, DC. In the caption, Lyons wrote that he was "heading to DC to STOP THE STEAL!" After the attempted coup, Lyons posted another photo on the social media platform of a wooden sign that said "Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Lyons also showed agents video footage that was recorded inside the Capitol. When asked if he would be willing to turn over the video to the FBI, the defendant said the file was too big to send over and offered to upload the videos to YouTube and send the links over instead.
