On January 6, 2021, a violent mob attacked the Capitol Building in Washington, DC, resulting in the deaths of five individuals, over 600 criminal charges, and the second impeachment of former President Donald J. Trump. In attendance at the attempted insurrection was FCRC Vice Chair Vinson Palathingal.[2][3] His involvement in the assault on the Capitol Building is unknown and charges were never filed against Palathingal.
