FBI: Militia-style group surveilled Capitol weeks after riot


The FBI says a Virginia man charged with storming the U.S. Capitol told an undercover agent that he belonged to a militia-style group and coordinated surveillance efforts on the same building more than a month after the riotCOLLEGE PARK, Md. But it says an undercover agent attended meetings of Duong's group and that investigators intercepted encrypted communications about post-riot surveillance work. Duong is one of more than 520 federal defendants charged in the Capitol riot so far. The group called themselves “a Bible study” but also talked about firearms training events, the FBI said. In May and in June, the undercover agent and Duong discussed making and testing Molotov cocktails, according to the affidavit.
