5 members of a family from the Texas Panhandle were arrested Tuesday, becoming the largest group of relatives charged in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol.
The charging documents said Tom Munn posted a message on Facebook in late December urging people to come to Washington."Our President has asked two things from us so far ...#1 Vote #2 January 6, 2021."
The FBI said surveillance video showed the five family members entering the Capitol by climbing through a broken-out window. Other video showed them leaving by crawling through a window 52 minutes later.Court documents said that when an FBI agent interviewed Kristi Munn by phone, she denied that she was inside the Capitol.
All five family members are charged with four counts related to the siege, and each is a misdemeanor. Court records say members of the family have requested a court-appointed lawyer, but no information on their lawyers was available.Pete Williams is an NBC News correspondent who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, based in Washington.
