NEW: Meet Danny “DJ” Rodriguez, the MAGA hatted Trump fanatic who brawled with cops, smashed out a Capitol window, and appeared to tase D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Mike Fanone in the neck during the insurrection. Story with @JessReports: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fanone-taser-maga-trump-capitol_n_6037bb23c5b69ac3d35cdb71?h6a

Danny "DJ" Rodriguez brawled with cops, tried to smash out a Capitol window, and assaulted a police officer on Jan. 6. He’s still at large.

The FBI received tips about Danny Rodriguez last month, he was publicly identified online, and he's connected to current Capitol defendants.

But it wasn't until hours after HuffPost's inquiry to the bureau that a key witness heard from an FBI agent. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fanone-taser-maga-trump-capitol_n_6037bb23c5b69ac3d35cdb71?h6a

The team at @1600PennPooch — who correctly identified “Bullhorn Lady” last month — put together a video showing Rodriguez’s assault on Officer Fanone. Watch it here: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fanone-taser-maga-trump-capitol_n_6037bb23c5b69ac3d35cdb71

The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department told me no suspects have been arrested for the astonishing attack that nearly killed Officer Mike Fanone.

The FBI is seeking the identities of these seven men in connection with the assault on Fanone:

. @JessReports found a listing for Danny Rodriguez’s car, which featured “1776” and “III%” stickers. It was sold last month. Liquidizing assets? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fanone-taser-maga-trump-capitol_n_6037bb23c5b69ac3d35cdb71?h6a
