A Texas man faces federal charges for his suspected involvement in the violent Jan.6 pro-Trump riot at the Capitol, as well as for online death threats allegedly made against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and a Capitol Police officer. According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Garret Miller posted a video from the Capitol on his Twitter page, captioned “From inside congress.” He also allegedly made several other social media posts indicating his involvement leading up to and following the riot. «I am about to drive across the country for this trump s—,» Miller wrote in a Jan.2 post, according to the complaint. «Some crazy s— going to happen this week. Dollar might collapse… civil war could start… not sure what to do in DC.» In the hours following the riot, Miller allegedly replied to a tweet from Ocasio-Cortez that read, “Impeach,” indicating the congresswoman’s support to impeach former President Trump for his involvement in provoking the riot.
