Queens Republican district leader arrested for taking part in U.S. Capitol siege: feds Noah Goldberg
A Republican Queens district leader was arrested for taking part in the Capitol riots last month, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
Phillip Grillo, 46, was arrested by the FBI on Monday and was charged for storming the halls of congress during the Trump-incited siege on Jan. 6 that left a police officer and several rioters dead.
Grillo, a Queens district leader in the 24th District, is a vocal Trump supporter. He wore a Trump pin in photos and called the district he led “Trump’s Hometown District” on his Facebook.
