Alleged Capitol rioter, Army veteran told FBI he was allowed to breach building because he pays his taxes, feds say

By KIM BELLWARE | The Washington Post | Published: May 13, 2021 Checks to the Internal Revenue Service don t typically come with blanket entry privileges to federal buildings, but a Pennsylvania man charged with breaching the U.S. Capitol allegedly believed as much when he entered the building on Jan. 6. Gary Wickersham of West Chester, Pa., an Army veteran, offered federal investigators a bizarre narrative of debunked conspiracies and contradictory statements surrounding the attack, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in federal court this week. The 80-year-old told investigators in January that the attempted insurrection was a staged act and that many of the people he saw cursing, screaming, knocking cops away, breaking windows and doors, and entering the Capitol were members of antifa. According to the complaint, Wickersham also believed his 20 minutes inside the Capitol were authorized because he pays his taxes.

Cheney set to be face of anti-Trump GOP

Cheney set to be face of anti-Trump GOP By Scott Wong 9 hours ago When Republicans vote Wednesday to expel House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney from the No. 3 leadership post, it will cement the Wyoming Republican and political scion as the face of the anti-Trump movement in the party. What remains unclear is whether her apostasy leads to a political cul-de-sac or becomes the launching pad to a more prominent role within a Republican Party that’s still grappling with its identity in a post-Trump Washington. Until now, that splintered Never Trump faction has had no apparent leader. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the 2008 presidential nominee who repeatedly clashed with former President Trump , died in 2018. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R), the centrist Alaskan, and Mitt Romney (R-Utah), the party’s 2012 standard-bearer, both backed Trump’s impeachment this year but don’t lean into every Trump controversy.

Republicans tell Biden tax hikes are a non-starter in recovery plan

5 Min Read WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Republican leaders told President Joe Biden on Wednesday they oppose any tax hikes to fund an economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, in a blow to the Democrat’s plans to spend trillions of dollars on U.S. infrastructure, education and childcare. In their first White House meeting since Biden took office in January, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House of Representatives Republican leader Kevin McCarthy signaled a willingness to work with the president on infrastructure but drew the line at tax increases. That is a setback to the White House’s efforts to have Congress approve a $2.25 trillion infrastructure bill and a $1.8 trillion education and childcare plan.
