Assistant U.S. Attorney William Kennelly Dreher asked Thompson on cross examination whether he was 36 years old when he stormed the Capitol, whether he had a college degree and whether he got dressed ‘all by yourself’ on Jan. 6.

‘You’re not a child, right?’ he asked Thompson. No, the defendant responded.
