FBI continues to arrest leaders of the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol.

Washington, January 19 (RHC)-- The FBI says it’s focusing on far-right militia groups as it continues to arrest leaders of the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol.

In Texas, federal prosecutors say rioter Guy Reffitt threatened to murder his wife and children if they turned him in -- reportedly telling his family: “Traitors get shot.”  Reffit is a member of the far-right Three Percenters militia group.

Federal agents have also arrested Bryan Betancur, a self-professed white supremacist who was wearing a GPS ankle bracelet as a condition of his probation on a prior burglary charge.  Betancur was photographed at the January 6 riots posing with a Confederate battle flag.

Earlier, the FBI arrested Riley June Williams of Pennsylvania, charging her with stealing a laptop from the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  An FBI complaint accuses Williams of trying to send the laptop to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service.
