‘Any Fallout U Think I Should Be Aware Of?’ Capitol Defendant Texted FBI Days After Riot
HuffPost
During a conversation shortly after the riot, Mick Chan allegedly told the FBI that he “broke into, well, air quotes, broke into” the Capitol.
A New Jersey man arrested this week in connection with the Capitol riot texted a FBI special agent two days after the Jan. 6 attack asking if there would be any “fallout” from his actions.
Mick Chan was arrested on Tuesday, according to court records. A FBI affidavit unsealed Wednesday states that Chan contacted a FBI special agent — whose phone number he got from a mutual friend — on Jan. 8, asking whether he could expect any consequences before he posted about participating in the riot on Facebook.
“Someone about to post on my behalf thru fb… I’ll be known publicly that I’ve entered Capitol,” Chan wrote, according to the affidavit. “Any fallout u think I should be aware of?”
