A Florida crypto entrepreneur bragged in the middle of his January 6 testimony about his 'legs day' personal record at the gym

During questioning over a planning document prosecutors have alleged was tied to the Proud Boys and their efforts in the January 6 insurrection, a Floridacryptocurrencies advocate struggled to maintain his calm.

Samuel Armes told the January 6 committee that his name is not on a document titled "1776 returns" that was in the possession of the Proud Boys leader. In the upcoming trial of the Proud Boys on seditious conspiracy charges, prosecutors claim that the document was distributed by the group in December.

The members of the group deny the charges.

Armes ended up on the floor with a leg injury after being grilled about who wrote the document.

Armes apologized to Lofgren during the virtual interview.

The man is on the floor. The horse is named Charle horse. The lawyer for Armes says that the horse is called Charle horse. "Just breathe"

Armes shifted the conversation to his gym routine.

I'm doing well." Armes said he maxed out his PR squats after doing leg day. That PR was over 400 lbs.

An unnamed January 6 investigator says that it will be in the congressional record.

Armes denied authoring "1776 Returns," a 9-page right-wing planning document tied to the January 6 riot, but he did confirm that he had met with Tarrio. According to the document, the goal was to fill the buildings with patriots and to demand a re-do of the 2020 election with "Paper Ballots only."

Armes said that an associate of his was trying to get him to help him figure out a way to make money off of selling t-shirts.

Flores didn't reply to the request for comment.

Armes said that they wanted him to set up a warehouse in Miami to help underprivileged children.

He claimed that he used his political science background to play out scenarios in case there was a peaceful transition between administrations. In an interview with the committee, he admitted that parts of his plan were used in the longer document.

He told the committee that he shared it with Flores on a search engine. I didn't think anything of it after that. I wouldn't have thought that it would turn into a document that I saw last week. It's terrible for me to imagine that someone would use something I wrote to source this kind of document.

Armes' attorney did not reply immediately. An attorney for Tarrio didn't reply to Insider's request.
