Eric Schmitt denies involvement in call for Trump supporters to march on U.S. Capitol
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt denies any knowledge of a robocall by an arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) encouraging “patriots” to participate in a march that ended in a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
Schmitt serves as vice chair of RAGA.
The Rule of Law Defense Fund, the 501(c)(4) arm of RAGA, helped finance and organize Wednesday’s “March to Save America” that ended in five deaths.
One of those killed was U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who died Thursday from injuries after an armed mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters attempted to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s win. More than 50 officers from the Capitol Police and D.C.’s police department were injured, including several who were hospitalized.
The connection between the fund and the rally was initially reported by Documented.
