A man who propped his feet up on a desk in the office of then-House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi during the US Capitol riot has been convicted of joining a mob’s attack on the building two years ago.

A jury deliberated for approximately two hours before unanimously convicting Richard “Bigo” Barnett on all eight counts in his indictment, including felony charges of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding.
