A Brooklyn man was identified as the person who received a phone call from the White House during the Capitolriot.
The owner of the phone that someone at the White House briefly called during the riot confessed to joining the attack with two friends.
A mystery call was revealed by an ex-Rep. Denver Riggleman was interviewed on CBS News.
The call was framed as a smoking gun by the author as a sign that Trump or someone on his team was cheering on the attack.
"That's a big, pretty big 'aha' moment," said a Trump critic.
Was it an accident? The man mused. The White House called a rioter on January 6th. It's probably not.
According to reports, investigators and members of the January 6 committee downplayed the claim that Lunyk knew anything about the call.
Shortly after Trump called for his supporters to leave peacefully, the call was made.
Lunyk and his friends came to D.C. for the chaos, according to federal prosecutors.
CNN reported that there were violent messages exchanged between the three people.
CNN reported that two days after the riot, Connor wrote in a message to the two men that their goal was to murder the two politicians. We need to come back stronger and more determined next time around.
Lunyk and his two friends received sentences of home confinement and small fines along with a tongue lashing from a federal judge, but no mention was made of the call from the White House.
The judge said that the three of them were knuckleheads. A strong dose of maturity is what you all need.
That's right, that's right.
