Newspaper Editor Accused of Interfering with Police at Capitol Riot by FBI.

Elliot Resnick, former chief editor of The Jewish Press, was arrested by the FBI on charges of civil disorder and assault of or interference with law enforcement for his actions during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Resnick was seen in videos grabbing and holding the arm of a Capitol police sergeant who was trying to prevent rioters from entering the building. He was also one of the first rioters to enter the Capitol through the East Rotunda doors and spent roughly 50 minutes inside before leaving. The Jewish Press had previously defended Resnick's actions, but did not comment on his arrest.
