How did the FBI identify him? His match on the dating app Bumble turned him in.

According to court filings, Robert Chapman was apprehended this week for being part of the pro-Trump mob that rioted at the Capitol building on January 6. One week later, Robert Chapman was boasting about his participation in the events that unfolded on Bumble.

The FBI included a screenshot of the Bumble conversation in its court documents.

That tip kicked off an investigation into Chapman. The FBI found footage showing Chapman recorded video with his phone inside the Capitol building that day. They also discovered photos on Chapman's Facebook profile depicting him at Statuary Hall inside the Capitol building.
