DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: federal court records state Ondulich entered through a Senate Wing door off the Northwest Terrace carrying a flag. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: prosecutors attributed harsh social media statements to Ondulich in charging papers. Those are quoted from the government's filing and this archive has not independently authenticated the posts or their context. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE: Stephen Alexander Ondulich was never charged with assault, never charged with a weapon offense, and never charged with property destruction. Four misdemeanor counts, two of them dismissed. Words in a filing are not a violent act. FACT: on January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions.
