Children Of Accused Rioter Will Testify Against Him

Law & Crime reports:

Family drama will be sure to pervade the debut trial for the Jan. 6 attack. Two children of accused militia member Guy Reffitt, including the son who flagged his father to the FBI, will be called as government witnesses, prosecutors confirmed in a filing on Monday. Linked to the Three Percenters militia group, Reffitt memorably told his kids in the days after Jan. 6 that “traitors get shot.”

His son Jackson Reffitt had previously flagged his father to the FBI with concerns about his increasingly violent rhetoric. When the FBI called him to ask if his father was at the Capitol on Jan. 6, Jackson—notwithstanding Reffitt’s threat—said yes. His trial is scheduled to start on Feb. 28. It will be the first case in the government’s sprawling prosecution of the Jan. 6 defendants.

Reffitt first appeared on JMG in June 2021 when it was reported that he’d threatened to murder his family if they turned him in. In July, the DOJ forced him to unlock his laptop so they could view the video taken by his helmet camera. In December, prosecutors alleged that he had plotted to physically remove Pelosi and McConnell from the Capitol that day. The DOJ also says they have evidence that Reffitt was carrying a gun.
