Actor Jay Johnston, of “Bob’s Burgers” and “Anchorman” fame, has pleaded guilty to felony charges stemming from his connection to the events on January 6.

The 55-year-old was arrested last June and charged with a felony count of interfering with law enforcement officers during civil disorder along with multiple misdemeanor offenses, per NPR. 

Johnston pleaded guilty earlier this week to the felony charge. He is scheduled for sentencing on October 7.

A bystander video from the event allegedly shows him filming protesters near the barricades around Congress. An FBI affidavit stated that Johnston was part of a group who forced their way into the Capitol Building via a tunnel using stolen police riot shields, the outlet noted. 

The Justice Department called this spot “the site of some of the most violent attacks against law enforcement that day.” The FBI claimed the video showed Johnston “handing up a stolen U.S. Capitol police shield to other rioters” and that he “participated with other rioters in a group assault” on law enforcement, per NBC News.

Johnston’s lawyer contacted the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center after they began circulating images of the actor that day in an effort to get the public to help identify him. Further evidence presented against the “Bob’s Burgers” actor included receipts for a hotel stay in Washington, D.C. during the same time as the rally, and text messages between him and a friend.

“The news has presented it as an attack. It actually wasn’t. Thought it kind of turned into that. It was a mess. Got maced and tear gassed and I found it quite untastic,” Johnston shared via text.

The entertainment professional was a regular on the HBO comedy “Mr. Show with Bob and David” in the 1990s alongside Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. He also had appearances in the 2004 Will Ferrell comedy “Anchorman,” “Arrested Development,” “The Sarah Silverman Program,” and “Men in Black II.”

Johnston was previously asked not to return to his role as fan-favorite recurring character Jimmy Pesto on the animated series “Bob’s Burgers” after it was suspected that he was involved in the incidents on January 6. No charges had been filed against the actor when he was let go from the show.

Johnston has not had any Hollywood appearances since it was revealed that he attended the rally.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday morning did not provide a direct answer when she was asked if she wanted President Joe Biden to continue his campaign for president.

The California Democrat was pressed on the issue on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and said she and other Democrats would support whatever Biden chooses to do.

“It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run,” Pelosi said.

“We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short,” she added.

Pelosi said Biden has the “overwhelming support of the caucus,” although she noted that “it’s not for me to say” since she no longer leads House Democrats.

“But he’s beloved, he is respected, and people want him to make that decision,” she said.

MSNBC’s Willie Geist countered, “He has said he has made the decision. He has said firmly this week he is going to run. Do you want him to run?”

“I want him to do whatever he decides to do,” Pelosi responded. “And that’s the way it is. Whatever he decides, we go with.”

Pelosi then shifted gears, saying Biden is “orchestrating” this week’s NATO conference “magnificently.”

The former speaker said she told her fellow Democrats to refrain from expressing their opinions about Biden’s candidacy until after this week.

“I’ve said, everyone, let’s just hold off, whatever you’re thinking either tell somebody privately, but you don’t have to put that out on the table until we see how we go this week,” Pelosi said.

Biden’s campaign is facing a crisis among Democrats since his dismal debate performance last month against former President Donald Trump.

Democrats are currently divided on Biden, and many have publicly expressed concerns that the president may not be up to the task of serving another four years or even campaigning for the next four months.

Pelosi’s unenthusiastic remarks on Biden’s candidacy Wednesday come as other top Democrats, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), have declared their solid support for the president.

Biden has made it clear he has no intention of dropping out.

“I’m firmly committed to staying in this race,” Biden wrote in a letter to Congress on Monday.

One Senate Democrat is warning that Biden is likely to lose in November.

“Donald Trump is on track, I think, to win this election — and maybe win it by a landslide — and take with him the Senate and the House,” Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) said on CNN.
