"offenses related to events that "

+

"Occurred at or near the Capitol" refers to the location of the events and "on January 6, 2021" refers to the time of the events.

It literally does not reference a time frame for the commission of the crimes, only the events the crimes are tied to. That wouldbalso include potential conspiracy charges, organizing charges, financial charges, etc. I'm sure in purpose, but at the risk of being too broad.
