Philadelphia prosecutors asked a judge on Monday to hold a Virginia man in contempt of court over video that shows him meeting with top leaders of two-far right extremist groups in Washington D.C. the day before the Jan. 6 riot.
The request from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in the case against 43-year-old Joshua Macias comes after the House committee investigating the insurrection put a spotlight on the Jan. 5 underground garage meeting between the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, who have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the Capitol attack.
Macias, the co-founder of the group Vets for Trump, hasn't been charged in the Capitol riot. But Philadelphia prosecutors say his presence at the meeting of the extremist leaders the day before indicates he had a much more prominent role in the insurrection than they had previously realized. Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys chairman, and Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers leader, have both been charged with plotting with other extremists to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
Attorney William J. Brennan, who represents Macias, declined to comment on the new filing Monday, but said he planned to continue to try the case in court rather than in the media. A phone message left for co-counsel in the case was not returned Monday.
