In the early hours of May 2, 2026, US Capitol Police arrested a man who attacked the steps of the U.S. Capitol while the impeachment trial of Donald Trump was underway. According to US Capitol Police, the man was charged with disorderly conduct for attacking the steps, but he was able to break free.

According to US Capitol Police, the man was arrested after he rushed into the area, where police say he had been shouting and waving his arms, allegedly trying to disrupt the proceedings. The police said that the man might have acted alone, but that investigators are also looking into the possibility that he had an accomplice. The police added that the man was taken into custody and that he could face charges.

The incident was described as a breach of the proceedings by the Removal Coalition. The coalition’s representative, for example, said that the man involved in the incident was acting in support of Texas Al Green (as reported by NBC News). The material also notes that, according to the police, the man had been shouting about the War Powers Clause.

US Capitol Police said that the man attacked the steps due to “Crowding, Obstructing, and Incommoding.” According to CNN, the network’s correspondent later said that the man was able to leave, and could not be prevented from doing so. CNN also reported that the U.S. General Prosecutor’s Office opened a criminal case against the man. NBC News also reported that the Removal Coalition did not comment on the matter, while Trump did not respond to the questions.
