Charges have been filed against a man who participated in the attack on Capitol for death threats to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez

Washington DC – Federal authorities accused a Texas man who participated in the attack on Congress on Twitter with threatening the murder of Puerto Rican Democratic Congressman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

According to CNN, Garret Miller was indicted on five counts, including making death threats and unauthorized break-ins into the Capitol as part of the assault on Congress by gangs of supporters of then-President Donald Trump, an event the federal government has been investigating as an act of domestic terrorism.

According to the indictment, Miller tweeted “ assassinate AOC, ” the acronym identifying the congressman’s name.

Miller also pointed out that the police officer who shot a woman attempting to enter the room as part of the crowd “deserved to die” and would not survive long because “it’s hunting season.”

Miller was taken into custody on Wednesday. His lawyer, Clint Broden, said his client regrets the comments he made.

He did it in support of former President (Donald) Trump, but regrets his actions. He has the support of his family, and many of the comments are, in context, a kind of misguided political exaggeration. Because of the political divisions of the time, there is much exaggeration, ”noted Broden.

More than 135 people have been charged with federal charges for participating in the attack on the federal Capitol, which the United States House of Representatives determined was instigated by then President Trump, with the goal of the November 3 election outcome. . Much more is expected to be charged in the coming weeks.

The FBI has received more than 200,000 tips from the public about the attack on Congress, including more than 100,000 videos.

Even after leaving the presidency, Trump will face impeachment in the United States Senate starting February 9.

The attack disrupted the constitutional vote counting process in electoral colleges and endangered the lives of members of Congress and then Vice President Michael Pence.

Following the violent incident, Congressman Ocasio Cortez, a star among liberals and the target of constant criticism from Republicans, revealed that in the midst of the assault on the Capitol by crowds of Trump supporters, there was a moment when she thought she was going to lose your life.

“I had a very traumatic event and I don’t know if I can fully disclose all the details of that event due to safety concerns. But I can tell you that I had a close encounter that I thought was going to die, ”said Ocasio Cortez.
