Fox News reporter Jake Gibson reported Thursday that federal law enforcement officers arrested Jason Charter, the alleged ‘ringleader’ of the attempted toppling of the Andrew Jackson equestrian statue in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House last week. President Trump has made it a priority to catch and prosecute those involved in the attack on the statue.

Charter was also part of the Antifa goon squad attack on One America News Network Jack Posobiec last Friday at the Emancipation Statue in D.C. but is not yet reported to have been charged on that incident.

This Antifa noodle armed prick in the red visor is a little terrorist wannabe who assaulted Jack Posobiec repeatedly and refused to let him go to the police, blocking his way and repeatedly shoving him. His female buddy stole Jack’s phone. pic.twitter.com/psoQfXLUR8
