Jan. 6 Rally Organizers Concealed Capitol March Plan, Government Report Reveals

Women for America First, the pro-Trump group that organized the "Save America" rally on January 6, 2021, intentionally lied to federal officials about President Donald J. Trump's plans to have his supporters march to the Capitol, according to a new inspector general investigation. The report found that the organization repeatedly denied to the National Park Service that there would be a march, while privately planning for one. Text messages and emails revealed that the organizers knew about the march but concealed their intentions. This report adds to the evidence that Trump and his supporters planned in advance to direct the crowds to Capitol Hill and worked to hide their intentions.

False election claims from Trump rally spill over into Virginia legislative campaigns.

Some Republican candidates running for the Virginia legislature are still pushing former President Donald Trump's false claims of a rigged 2020 election as an important campaign selling point heading into Tuesday's primary. At least six Republican candidates for the General Assembly attended Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally or the subsequent march to the Capitol. Most of the Virginia statehouse candidates who attended the Jan. 6 rally or march said that if Republicans can win majorities in both chambers, they would push to roll back voting changes enacted by Democrats.
