Jan. 6 committee subpoenas leaders of 'America First' movement | TheHill

The House select committee investigating the Jan.

6 committee 'will not be harmed by delay' MORE (D-Miss.) said in a statement the panel believes Nicholas Fuentes and Patrick Casey have information relevant to the planning, coordination and funding of events that were held in the lead-up to the January attack.

“The Select Committee is seeking facts about the planning, coordination, and funding of events that preceded the violent attack on our democracy.

11, 2020 the committee said Fuentes organized a “Stop the Steal” rally at the Michigan State Capitol, where he said conservatives should be “more feral” in their efforts to reverse the election results.

14, 2020, Fuentes reportedly attended a rally with his supporters where he encouraged them to “storm every state capitol until January 20, 2021, until President TrumpDonald TrumpKinzinger welcomes baby boy Tennessee lawmaker presents self-defense bill in 'honor' of Kyle Rittenhouse Five things to know about the New York AG's pursuit of Trump MORE is inaugurated for four more years.”.

The day after the riot, Fuentes reportedly wrote on Twitter “The Capitol Siege was f---ing awesome and I’m not going to pretend it wasn’t.”.

6, 2020, Casey reportedly wrote on Twitter “It’s happening.”.

Thompson said Fuentes reportedly received a Bitcoin donation worth more than $250,000 that the FBI is looking into “to assess whether the money was linked to the Capitol attack or otherwise used to fund illegal acts.”.

In his subpoena to Casey, Thompson said the “America First” leader reportedly received roughly $25,000 worth of Bitcoin from a French computer programmer, the same donor who funneled funds to Fuentes.
