Family torn apart as they speak to investigators about father's participation in Capitol riot
CNN
A 16-year-old testified against her father in court on Monday, as prosecutors used what they learned from the Texas Three Percenter's children about his resolve for taking part in the US Capitol riot against him.
"My heart is broken. I see people in your family suffering. I see an American family suffering," Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said at the hearing in Washington on Monday about how politics -- and the Capitol riot -- has divided American families. During the almost two-hour hearing, the daughter's testimony about her father, Guy Reffitt, a Texas Three Percenter, became one of the most searing examples of how close family and friends have aided investigators with the dragnet following the insurrection. The daughter said she didn't believe her father was dangerous if he were to be released, but thought he had tried to intimidate her and her brother after January 6 as he had discussed keeping his participation quiet.More Related News
