A member of the far-right group Proud Boys reportedly had communication with a person associated with Donald Trump’s White House in the days leading up to the Capitol riots on 6 January.
A law enforcement official, who claims he has been briefed about an FBI investigation, told The New York Times on Friday that mobile phone data, including location and call records links a Proud Boys member and a White House official.
