> The overwhelming majority of people who stepped onto the Capitol grounds are charged only with simple trespassing

The overwhelming majority are being charged with class A and B misdemeanors (I assume by "simple trespass" you probably mean class C), but that's not the only charge that many of them have.

About half of those arrested so far have felony charges as well.
