Case Summary
Julie Miller (also known as Hong Ngo) first came to the attention of the FBI, when her cellphone geolocation was traced inside the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, according to court documents. In June of 2022, FBI agents from the Boston Division Worcester office interviewed Miller who told them she was in the building with her roommate Long Duong. Miller also told the FBI the two of them traveled together to Washington, DC, from their hotel in Virginia to attend former President Donald Trump’s rally. CCTV footage show the pair enter the building through the Senate Fire Door at approximately 2:57 pm. Miller made a recording on her cellphone of the Senate Parliamentarian’s office space, which was already destroyed by rioters. On the video a person is heard saying “Don’t destroy anything,” to which Miller replied “They already did. Everything is already destroyed." The pair did not commit any acts of vandalism or violence, according to the FBI.
