Chad LoderBREAKING: Unconfirmed reports that Eric Christie, former candidate for Los Angeles City Council’s 4th District, has been arrested by the FBI at his Sherman Oaks home for his participation in the Jan 6 attack on the US Capitol.
I first broke the news in Feb 2021 that Christie, a fixture at the Beverly Hills Trump rallies, had been filmed at the Capitol behind police lines, standing on top of government vehicles and urging the crowd forward.
The indictment is apparently still sealed. I am looking to find additional confirmation on what charges have been filed.
