Jan. 6 Capitol attack organizers deceived officials and withheld crucial information, says government report

Women for America First, a group supporting former President Donald Trump, intentionally lied on a permit application for a protest near the White House on January 6, 2021, according to a report from the inspector general with the Interior Department. The group failed to disclose information about a planned march to the US Capitol, despite repeatedly stating otherwise during the permitting process. The report also revealed text messages indicating the group's intention to march to the Capitol. The Justice Department declined to prosecute the group for its failure to disclose this information.

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.
