FBI charging documents in the arrest of Blaze Media investigative journalist Steve Baker over his coverage of the Jan. 6 protest and riot at the US Capitol in 2021 show that he was working as a journalist when he entered the Capitol building to document the goings on.

FBI charging documents describe Baker working as a journalist while at the US Capitol on Jan. 6. The documents state that Baker had been video recording the event and providing commentary as to what had been occurring inside and outside the Capitol building.

on page 8, the FBI describes Baker as performing the actions of a journalist. This includes the federal agency referring to Baker as a "narrator" in a video that had been captured from both inside and outside the Capitol. In the video, Baker reports the events that had been occurring, specifically the police killing of conservative veteran Ashli Babbitt, the US Capitol police department's response to the riot, and city officials announcing that a curfew had been set.

The FBI states in the document: "From the exterior steps to the House of Representatives, BAKER narrated: 'But uhh, I don’t think she’s going to make it," referring to protester Ashli Babbit, who was shot to death by Capitol Police. "Now they’ve announced a curfew for D.C. from six to six . . . I don’t think it’s going to happen. I think that uhh, we may have just seen the true first shot in this war.' BAKER later continued: 'They came in heavy man, we got to the House, uhh, door. The House of Representatives entrance. They came in hardcore. Automatic rifles. Everything. It’s an amazing situation out here." He reported both the events as they were unfolding and his perspective on them.

Furthermore, on page 3 listed under Statement of Facts, the FBI describes Baker yet again as performing the duties of a journalist.

The FBI explains that Baker had been inside Nancy Pelosi's office, following the protesters, and documenting what had been occurring.

The FBI states: "Beginning at approximately 05:30, BAKER claimed to have been inside Nancy Pelosi’s office: 'Once the crowd started moving in, I went, 'I gotta get this too, man.' So I started following them into the Cap- and we got in, and it was free reign for the most part inside the building. In fact, we even got into.. I-I was in Pelosi's office. I mean we went into Pelosi's office.'" In saying "I gotta get this too, man," Baker is clearly saying that he feels a responsibility to cover those historical events as they were unfolding.
