5 Members Of Texas Family Arrested In Capitol Attack Case

Five members of one Texas family were arrested Tuesday for their alleged participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

“Washington D.C. here we come… #StopTheSteal #TrumpIsMyPresident,” Kristi Munn captioned a Facebook photo that showed her and five other members of her family in the lead-up to the day’s attack, which left five people dead and more than 140 police officers injured.

The photo included her father, Tom Munn; his wife, Dawn; and Kristi Munn’s siblings Josh and Kayli. Another sibling who is a minor also attended the riot but was not named in the Justice Department’s charging documents unsealed Tuesday, nor was the minor charged. The family drove from Borger, Texas, to Washington, D.C., according to the documents.

The FBI, with the help of a tipster who knows the family, used social media posts from the Munns to build its case against them. Three of the Munn children’s former teachers also helped authorities identify them.

7. Wow--I know Borger. It's a pretty small town.

My GF Jeannie just got back from Borger after visiting her 85yo mother there. It is no doubt a red place,
in the Texas panhandle. Of the family that came to celebrate her mom's birthday, about half are Democrats
and half are Trumper covid deniers. Politics is taboo at get-togethers.
I stayed home to tend my garden and the cats and house paint.
