18. Mick Mulvaney's Niece Maggie Played Key Role in Rally Before Capitol Riot

He is trying to unring "that bell." Maggie Mulvaney got the permit for the pre-coup pep rally.


Records show that Maggie Mulvaney, the niece of former Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, played a key role in the "Save America Rally" on January 6 that occurred prior to President Donald Trump's supporters storming the U.S. Capitol.

Trump has been accused of inciting the Capitol riot with a speech to supporters of the rally held at the Ellipse. During the event, which was organized by the nonprofit Women for America First, the president urged his followers to "fight much harder" and walk down to the Capitol amid his baseless allegations of election fraud.

Violent pro-Trump rioters broke into the Capitol building hours later, forcing lawmakers to evacuate. The siege left five dead, including a police officer.

Maggie Mulvaney was listed as a "VIP Lead" in a Park Service permit granted for the event, according to an Associated Press review of records.
