Case Summary
Brandon Miller entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with his wife, court documents indicate. On Jan. 5, Miller posted on Facebook: "How much longer are ‘We the People’ Going to let 535 people Tell 330 MILLION People What to Do??? They Work FOR US!! We Pay Them.” After the riot, a family member called the FBI and reported that they had seen Miller in a Facebook Live video from inside the Capitol. A search warrant of Google GPS records also placed Miller inside the building during the riot for approximately 30 minutes. On Jan. 7, he responded to a Facebook message asking if he had gotten in trouble: "No not yet anyway lol I’m home now."
