ABrooklyn “knucklehead” who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 has been identified as the recipient of a mysterious nine-second phone call from the White House placed during the riot.

Anton Lunyk, 26, of Midwood, Brooklyn, and a fan of former President Donald Trump, admitted joining the attack with two buddies, is the owner of the phone to which someone at the White House briefly called during the riot, CNN reported Monday.

The mystery call was revealed by former Jan. 6 staffer and ex-Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-Va.) in an interview on CBS News’ “60 Minutes“ on Sunday.

“Was it an accidental call?” Riggleman mused. “When the White House just happened to (call) a rioter that day, on January 6th? Probably not.”
