Law & Crime reports:
One of the faces in the pro-Trump crowd captured by a professional photographer on Jan. 6 who online sleuths referred to as #Midwhitecrisis has now been identified as a Long Island lawyer, the feds say.
John L. O’Kelly, a 66-year-old East Williston, New York resident, faces several charges for his alleged role in the Jan. 6 attack. Those charges include felonies, such as civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding police officers.
Investigators said they used various photos to help identify O’Kelly, including one on the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry website, on which O’Kelly claims that explosives destroyed the World Trade Center on 9/11.
Read the full article. In 2019, O’Kelly’s 9/11 group filed a failed lawsuit demanding evidence from the Justice Department. Watch the video below.
