The FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives doubled the reward for information from $50,000 to $100,000 .
The top federal prosecutor investigating the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol said Tuesday he expects indictments will be handed down soon, as the FBI works to track down more than 400 suspects in the sprawling investigation.
More than 135 people have been arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 breach, which left five people dead and sent members of Congress rushing to safety, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin told a news briefing Tuesday.
