Miller allegedly posted selfies of himself on social media wearing a pro-Donald Trump hat both inside and outside the Capitol. He later allegedly posted multiple messages on social media about his participation in the riot. He said the group he was with had “stormed” the Capitol, though he said they had been “unarmed.”“Next time we bring the guns,” he tweeted, according to the complaint. As for the officer, Miller allegedly said on Facebook that he “deserve[s] to die” and won’t “survive long” because it’s “huntin season.”Clint Broden, a lawyer for Miller, told CNN that his client regrets his participation in the riot.
