East entrance

The committee records the initial east Rotunda-door breach around 2:24 p.m., renewed entry at 2:38 p.m. and an Oath Keepers stack entering around 2:40 p.m., followed by another around 3:15 p.m.

In his May 2022 guilty plea, William Todd Wilson admitted joining a plan to use force to obstruct the transfer of presidential power. The DOJ release records that he left firearms and ammunition in a Virginia hotel, entered through the Upper West Terrace doors at 2:34 p.m., and joined people pushing the Rotunda doors from inside at 2:38 p.m. It also records his later destruction of his phone to prevent investigators finding evidence. These are Wilson’s plea-related admissions, distinct from the later entry of other Oath Keepers through the east doors.
