He yelled "traitor" and "treason" as he grabbed a Metropolitan Police Department sergeant by the arm.
The lawyer did not reply to the request for comment.
A video interview with The Associated Press conducted at the time of the riot was used as evidence by prosecutors during the trial.
When the AP reporter asked where he was from, he hesitated before saying so. He hesitated before saying that they would come after him.
Gregory Gillespie's self-portraits, fantasy landscapes, and geometric abstractions are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and other museums. The man died in 2000.
The AP video captured a flushedVincent Gillespie milling about outside the Capitol speaking defiantly about his role in the attack, and his excuse that more like minded individuals didn't join the fight.
He told an AP journalist that they were nearly overpowering them. We could have won it if you had more guys pushing us.

Christoff said there was a lot of photographic and video evidence against him.
He was seen pouring water into his eyes by the AP outside the Capitol.
He said he was part of a group of people trying to storm the building.
I was with some people. They beat us and put pepper spray in our eyes as we pushed against them. There were a lot of people behind us.
We were very close to being able to tell you what you need to know. He said there would have been a second set of doors if more people had followed him.
He said on the video that he hoped those attacking the building would flood in so there wasn't anything they could do.
I would like them to do that. Don't let it go to waste. Don't let it go to waste. It's a good idea to own it for a while. He made a reference to Donald Trump's false claims that the election was stolen.
