January 6, 2023 marks two years since the mob of Donald J. Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Later some members of Congress, including Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) attempted to subvert the presidential election. Since then, hundreds of men and women have been arrested and charged for breaching the Capitol, many from Illinois. The House Jan. 6 committee is shutting down, having completed a whirlwind 18-month investigation of the 2021 Capitol insurrection and having sent its work to the Justice Department along with a recommendation for prosecuting former President Donald Trump.
