'Purge all previous conversations': Prosecutors reveal MAGA rioter's panicked texts at trial [View all]

Prosecutors on Friday revealed an incriminating text message sent by accused MAGAt rioter Guy Reffitt, reports Politico's Kyle Cheney.

The text message in question came just four days after the Capitol riot when Reffitt learned that law enforcement officials had brought in members of the Texas Three Percenters militia in for questioning.

"This is not a drill," Reffitt wrote to other Three Percenters on January 10th, 2021. "Be prepared. The sh*t is now hitting the fan. Start purge of all previous conversations."

That last line is key to the prosecutors' case that Reffitt tried to obstruct justice, as it amounts to soliciting for the destruction of evidence.
