West Virginia Lawmaker Who Stormed Capitol Resigns

Derrick Evans, a right-wing West Virginia lawmaker who livestreamed himself storming the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, has announced his resignation from the West Virginia House of Delegates, a spokesperson confirmed to WSAZ-TV.

“The past few days have certainly been a difficult time for my family, colleagues and myself, so I feel it’s best at this point to resign my seat in the House and focus on my personal situation and those I love,” Evans said in a statement.

Federal officials have said Evans will face criminal charges for his involvement in Wednesday’s insurrectionist attack.
