A document found in the possession of a far-right leader by federal prosecutors revealed there was a detailed plan to storm government buildings around the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, people familiar with the document said.

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was charged with conspiracy and was found in possession of a nine-page document, according to the New York Times.

The document titled “1776 Returns” was cited by prosecutors when they charged him last week.

The document is expected to explain why prosecutors chose to charge Mr. Tarrio, who was not at the Capitol during the attack.

He does not specifically mention the attack on the Capitol building, but suggests that once the buildings are “full and ready to go”, the “leaders and seconds” should come in and open the doors so that others can come in and “cause trouble” to distract security. Staff.

And in case crowds are unable to enter buildings quickly, it suggests they set off fire alarms at nearby shops, hotels and museums in a bid to distract police and guards, said sources at The Times.

Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger ripped Tucker Carlson after the Fox News host invited him to appear on his show.

In a video posted to Twitter on Monday, Mr Kinzinger said he “won’t validate his show by making an appearance” while calling his rhetoric of the West investigating the Russian leader “evil”.

“I got an invite to do the Tucker Carlson show tonight. And there’s no way I’m going on his show, for a number of reasons,” he said.

“But first, let me say that his insistence that the West was instigating war with Putin, his widespread lies about bio-labs, and his continuous spouting of conspiracy theories are nothing short of ‘an absolute evil,’ he added.

“His show is full of Russian propaganda and not news, and I will not validate his show by making an appearance. I do not want to be associated with it in any way,” Mr. Kinzinger said.

He then urged viewers to consider donating to the “Stand with Ukraine” fund.

As supporters of former President Donald Trump continue to peddle their baseless theories about voter fraud in the 2020 election, a right-wing group in New Mexico has posed as city workers to get information in a county with a Republican majority.

The New Mexico State Auditor says some members of a far-right Telegram group were going door-to-door in Otero County for information about residents’ voting, reports DailyBeast.

Otero County, which has more than 60% of residents voting for Mr. Trump in 2020, has already spent $50,000 on an “audit” to find evidence of voter fraud.

However, it turns out that the auditing company the county hired contracted “New Mexico Audit Force” or NMAF, a Telegram group, which promoted conspiracy theories.

State officials said the NMAF “misrepresents its members as county employees” during its “scanning” of local households and raised potential civil rights issues.

“Our investigation appears to have revealed that the commissioners may have put their self-interest ahead of the public interest,” said New Mexico State Auditor Brian Colón.

His office has now sent a letter to the three Otero County commissioners, citing “potential violations” around the audit.

Joe Biden attended the first in-person fundraiser on Monday since the coronavirus pandemic hit the world, marking a return to a traditional form of politics.

The Washington event, attended by two dozen wealthy donors focused on climate change, raised at least $3 million for the Democratic National Committee, said a White House adviser who spoke as covered with anonymity.

Focusing his speech on climate change, the president linked the issue to other issues such as inflation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which caused volatility in oil markets.

“There are three things we can handle at once,” Biden said. “The climate crisis, consumer costs and national security – they are not at odds with each other. If you look at them the right way, they are compatible.”

With the onset of the pandemic, Democrats have been forced to take a very different path than Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, who has held in-person fundraisers at his Mar-a- Lago for months.

A left-wing group is attacking Donald Trump and arguing that the former president is campaigning for the presidency again without formally filing his intention to run.

American Bridge argued in a complaint to the Federal Election Commission that Trump’s campaign-style rallies he’s held since leaving office should be considered part of a 2024 presidential bid. which has already started.
