A federal judge on Monday dismissed an obstruction charge against a man accused of breaching the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, ruling that he himself had not directly interfered with Congress’ certification of Electoral College votes.
Officials have accused Garret Miller of being an “active participant” in the January breach and on May 12, 2021, a grand jury issued an indictment that charges him with twelve different criminal offenses, several of which are felonies.
