Guy Reffitt, a Jan. 6 rioter, was armed with a hand gun and zip ties when he tried to storm the U.S. Capitol, his friend testifies at the first Capitol riot trial.
Hardie testified that they stopped in Virginia to take their weapons apart before they traveled to the hotel where they stayed in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C.
Hardie testified as part of an agreement with the federal government that bans prosecutors from using his testimony in the Reffitt case to build a case against him. The agreement does not mean that Hardie himself will not face charges in connection with Jan. 6. On Jan. 6, Reffitt and Hardie communicated with a radio. They were separated at the Capitol, he said, but Reffitt communicated what he was going to try to do.Hardie, who said he himself still believes that the election was stolen, said he was initially proud of his participation in the events of Jan. 6.
Reffitt's attorney has argued that his client exaggerates and rants, and that the government's case is based on “bragging and a lot of hype."
