An Army reservist charged with taking part in the attack on the U.S. Capitol was known as a Nazi sympathizer who wore a Hitler mustache, coworkers told federal investigators.
Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, 30, was employed as a security contractor at a Navy base when he was alleged to have breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, authorities said.
In court papers filed Friday, federal prosecutors in Washington said his coworkers at the Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck, New Jersey, told investigators that he held white supremacist views.
The filing included photos from Hale-Cusanelli’s cellphone of him with a Hitler mustache, along with pro-Nazi cartoons.
One Navy seaman said that Hale-Cusanelli told him “he would kill all the Jews and eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and he wouldn’t need to season them because the salt from their tears would make it flavorful enough.”
Other coworkers recalled Hale-Cusanelli making derogatory remarks about women, Black people and other minorities.
Prosecutors argued in the filing that Hale-Cusanelli is a danger to the public and should remain jailed while he awaits trial.
Jonathan Zucker, Hale-Cusanelli’s attorney, wrote in a filing that there was no evidence his client belongs to any white supremacist organizations.
Authorities said Hale-Cusanelli made videos of himself screaming at Capitol Police officers, climbing a scaffolding to enter the building through doors kicked open by rioters, and chanting “Stop the steal!” Some of those videos were posted to social media.
Hale-Cusanelli has since been discharged from the Army Reserve and barred from the Navy base, according to the filing.

Hopefully attention is being paid to the hardcore supporters of trump by his Jewish supporters, they are anti Semites through and through.
This guy is so creepy looking, that people on death row would vomit from seeing him.
@rt
based on what you are saying most Trump supporters are also capital rioters……
Another guy duped by the garbage printed in the NYTimes about Trump.
Either that or Trump is the smarest guy to ever live. An anti-semite who dupped everyone by being surrounded by Jewish friends and associates his whole life. That’s a conspiracy for the ages @rt.
Probably mentally ill, and will get locked up “until cured” at St. Elizabeths (in DC).
So this piece of dirt was not dangerous until he stormed the Capitol?? His racist views was not of concern to his co-workers until he stormed the Capitol? Not of concern to his superiors?? Sad but interesting.
Why eat them for breakfast? What about lunch and dinner?
These people will kill Jews whether Trump supporters or not. And the Jewish Trump supporters don’t understand this.
@rt no matter how stupid your comments are, I refuse to believe that someone can be so stupid. So yes, definitely you do this for entertainment purposes.
@rt There’s no argument to be made against the fact that he’s been the best friend the Jews have had in the white house. There’s no arguing that he’s a man who loves loyalty and will often attempt to avoid denouncing bad actors, including white supremacists or anti-Semites, due to that weakness. There’s also no arguing that you really don’t like the man and want others to feel the same way. That’s fine, it’s a very common but useless feeling, as for every person who feels the way you do there’s someone who feels the opposite way. His Jewish supporters should continue to support him. Are there no anti-Semites supporting Biden? Every Democrat including the famously anti-Semitic ones are his supporters. Sure, they preferred someone more radical than him, but the same can be said about vocally anti-Semitic Trump supporters-They would much rather have someone who’s just like Trump but also an anti-Semite and white supremacist.
