But Vance made a significant false claim on Thursday about legal proceedings against people who allegedly participated in the Capitol insurrection last year. And Vance wrote : "There are dozens of people who protested on J6 who haven't even been charged with a crime yet are being mistreated in DC prisons. Every alleged Capitol rioter who is being held in jail to await trial has been charged with a crime. Moreover, every one of the dozens of defendants listed on the very donations page Vance was promoting has been charged with a crime. As of late 2021, about 40 Capitol riot defendants were being held in jail in Washington, DC in particular.
