The FBI has released its latest poster of suspected Capitol rioters, looking for the public's help in identifying the suspects.
The FBI released the poster on Twitter late on Wednesday afternoon, imploring the public to assist in their search for the rioters.
The tweet read, 'The #FBI has updated our website with more photos of individuals who unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and assaulted federal law enforcement officers. Submit tips to help us identify them at fbi.gov/USCapitol. @FBIWFO.'
The tweet also included a link to the FBI's website with more details about its search for these particular suspects.
The FBI's latest wanted poster for the Capitol riot features ten new faces they're looking for
'The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Washington Field Office is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying individuals who made unlawful entry into the United States Capitol Building and assaulted federal law enforcement personnel on January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C.,' the FBI wrote on its website.
'Anyone with information regarding these individuals, or anyone who witnessed any unlawful violent actions at the Capitol or near the area, is asked to contact the FBI's Toll-Free Tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) to verbally report tips.'
This particular poster appears to show ten white men, all making relatively strange faces unbeknownst they were being captured by cameras.
The most memorable of them appears to be decked out in red, white, and blue gloves, suspenders, and possibly a tie, with some sort of white cap hanging off the top of his head.
No details were released, other than that they were involved in the riot in some way
So far, 125 people have been arrested in connection with the riot that took place January 6
Four civilians died in connection with the riot, as well as a Capitol police officer
There is also a man seemingly squinting while wearing a tan hat that looks like it could be a construction helmet.
Additionally, there is a man with long hair wearing a backwards red baseball cap.
The FBI has been releasing posters and images of suspected Capitol rioters on a regular basis since the January 6 attack.

Patrick Edward McCaughey III, who was pictured in a video in which a Washington police officer was pinned with a riot shield, is due in federal court in Manhattan on Wednesday on charges of assaulting police.
McCaughey can be heard in the video telling officers to not resist the rioters, according to the criminal complaint.
'You see me. Just go home. Talk to your buddies and go home,' he allegedly said.
Also appearing in court on Wednesday is Samuel Fisher, whom the FBI said breached the Capitol and also posted photos of himself with guns.

They were the first of the hundreds arrested to be charged with conspiracy in connection with the riot.
'Seal them in turn on gas,' one message between the conspirators allegedly said, according to the FBI.
Estimating the size of the riot is difficult, but the FBI appears to be looking for many more suspects.
