Jan. 6 suspect arrested near Obama's house after Trump posts the address
“I’m outside Barack Obama’s house,” Jan. 6 suspect Taylor Taranto said on Thursday in a livestream as he drove around a Washington, D.C., neighborhood and talked to a Secret Service agent, not long before he was arrested on an outstanding U.S. Capitol Police warrant. How did Taranto end up outside former President Obama’s house? Ryan Reilly reports at NBC News:
Earlier Thursday, a Truth Social account that uses the same screen name that Taranto uses on other social media accounts re-posted a Trump post that included what is alleged to be the address of Obama’s home in Washington and noted that the home is near a mosque. “Got them surrounded!” the Truth Social account wrote.
Police found weapons, ammunition, and possible explosives components in the van where Taranto has been living.
