Capitol rioter used charity to promote violence, feds say
An eight-count indictment last week charges Alan Hostetter with plotting to block the certification of President Joe Biden's victory alongside followers. Author: Associated Press Updated: 4:30 PM EDT June 16, 2021
A California man charged with joining anti-government extremists in rioting at the U.S. Capitol told the IRS last year that he formed a charity called the American Phoenix Project to defend "human and civil rights" and educate the public about vaccines.
Instead, Alan Hostetter used his tax-exempt nonprofit as a platform to oppose COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, protest that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump and advocate for violence against political opponents, according to an eight-count indictment secured by the U.S. Justice Department. He's already charged with conspiracy to stop the certification of Joe Biden's presidency, but Hostetter also could be in violation of IRS rules governing tax-exempt nonprofits, possibly compounding his serious legal troubles.
