Updated September 6 1:45 p.m. CT
Three more Texans, including a talk show host for the conservative website InfoWars, were arrested for their alleged role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. At least 57 Texans have now been charged in connection to the riot.
Authorities say Jonathon Owen Shroyer, host of The War Room With Owen Shroyer, traveled to Washington D.C. on Jan. 5 to give an address in Freedom Plaza alongside InfoWars host Alex Jones.
"Americans are ready to fight, Shroyer said during the rally. We are going to restore and we are going to save the republic!"
The next day, Shroyer allegedly marched to the Capitol building shortly before the building was breached, according to the FBI. Court documents say Shroyer and Jones entered Capitol grounds, and were seen outside the West and East sides of the building.
Days before his arrest, a GoFundMe page was created by InfoWars staff to assist Shroyer in his legal efforts and raised about $23,000 before being suspended for violating the websites terms and conditions, according to Shroyer.

Here's 'Jenna the realtor':
Jenna Ryan, Updated Jan. 19 11:31 a.m. CT
Jenna Ryan, 50, a Realtor from Frisco, flew to D.C. with others aboard a small private plane, according to court documents. Images posted onto Ryans social media pages appeared to show her at the Capitol building.
During a 21-minute livestream on Facebook, Ryan is allegedly shown entering the Capitol building, saying "y'all know who to hire for your realtor. Jenna Ryan for your realtor," according to court documents.
Days after the insurrection, Ryan defended her alleged participation on several news outlets.
After she was arrested by the FBI, she told CBS 11 in Dallas-Fort Worth that she believed President Trump should pardon all who were involved in the riot. He asked us to fly there. He asked us to be there. So I was doing what he asked us to do," she said.
