The FBI arrested a Republican gubernatorial candidate for Michigan and has charged him with misdemeanours in connection with the US Capitol riot by supporters of now-former President Donald Trump.
Ryan Kelley, 40, was arrested in western Michigan on Thursday and appeared at a brief hearing in federal court in Grand Rapids, where he was released from custody without posting bail. The government did not ask that Kelley be detained.
His arrest came hours before the House committee investigating the riot held a widely anticipated public hearing, showing never-seen video, audio and an array of evidence highlighting the deadly violence that erupted on January 6, 2021.
Federal investigators said Kelley was recorded on video outside the US Capitol on the day of the riot, repeatedly waving to the crowd and directing them towards stairs leading into the building.
