   Accused Capitol rioter John Sullivan sold video footage he recorded at the   
   Jan. 6 siege to NBC and CNN for $35,000 each, according to new court   
   papers.   
      
   The news came as prosecutors on Tuesday tried to ban the Utah provocateur   
   — a self-styled anti-Trump activist who they allege infiltrates protests   
   to cause chaos and record video footage — from accessing social media,   
   according to Politico.   
      
   Sullivan maintains that he is a journalist for his website Insurgence USA   
   — and his defense attorney filed invoices for the $35,000 that NBC News   
   and CNN each apparently paid for rights to use the videos.   
      
   But the feds allege in a criminal complaint that Sullivan was actively   
   participating in and encouraging the siege.   
      
   As throngs of President Donald Trump supporters stormed the building,   
   Sullivan helped one of the rioters scale a wall leading up to an entrance   
   of the Capitol, an affidavit alleges.   
      
   He then entered the Capitol through a window that had been smashed by a   
   rioter.   
      
   As he recorded footage inside the building, Sullivan allegedly said, “we   
   gotta get this s—t burned.”   
      
   “It’s our house, motherf—kers. We are getting this s–t,” he added.   
      
   Still recording, Sullivan moved with the crowd to outside the Speaker’s   
   Lobby, where rioters faced off with police officers who were securing a   
   doorway.   
      
   He then captured an officer fatally shoot rioter Ashli Babbitt as she   
   attempted to climb through a broken window that was being guarded by the   
   officers — footage he sold to several news networks.   
      
   “On January 6th, CNN was contacted by a reputable agent regarding an eye-   
   witness video from the Capitol Hill riots. The company entered into a one-   
   week agreement for use of 44-seconds of key content, which was attributed   
   to the witness on air. When his role in the event was later called into   
   question, the company informed staff to cease all use of the video,” a CNN   
   spokesperson said.   
      
   Sullivan was arrested soon after the riot and indicted by a grand jury   
   last week on six charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding,   
   civil disorder and disorderly conduct.   
      
   In a court hearing Tuesday, a magistrate judge in Washington blocked   
   prosecutors’ request that Sullivan be barred from his social media   
   accounts while he awaits trial for the riot, according to Politico.   
      
   The judge, however, did order Sullivan to cease work for Insurgence USA,   
   and said he could not use social media to incite riots or violence.   
      
   A representative for NBC did not immediately respond to requests for   
   comment.
