Brothers Charged with Assaulting NY Times Photographer During Capitol Riot

David and Philip Walker face multiple charges for their actions on January 6, including assault and theft of photographic equipment.

David and Philip Walker were arrested and charged with assaulting New York Times photographer Erin Schaff during the January 6 Capitol riot.
The Walkers are accused of forcibly taking Schaff's camera and destroying it by tossing it into a body of water.
Schaff recounted being thrown to the floor and having her press pass stolen, which led police to initially doubt her status as a journalist.
The FBI affidavit revealed Philip Walker believed Schaff was a member of 'antifa,' a claim Schaff's account contradicts.
Approximately 1,500 people have been charged for crimes related to the Capitol riot, with over 1,000 convictions secured by federal prosecutors.
