Kevin and Sean Cordon entered guilty pleas to misdemeanor charges Friday during a virtual federal court hearing after they were recorded on video and charged with breaking into the U.S. Capitol as lawmakers certified Joe Biden's election win over Donald Trump, reported NBC's Scott MacFarlane.

His older brother Sean Cordon, who wore a gas mask, pleaded guilty to unlawful picketing and parading, which carries a possible six-month prison term.
Kevin Cordon faces up to a year in prison for his offense.
