Kevin Seefried, who carried Confederate flag into the Capitol, arrested

The two men were identified after a co-worker of Hunter Seefried contacted the FBI to say Hunter “had bragged about being in the Capitol with his father” during the riot, the document says.

On Tuesday, both men spoke to the FBI in separate voluntary interviews, according to the document.

In addition to each of them confirming they had been in the Capitol, “Kevin Seefried also explained that he brought the Confederate Battle flag seen” in a photo “to the District of Columbia from his home in Delaware where it is usually displayed outside,” the document says.

“Kevin Seefried told law enforcement that he had traveled with his family from Delaware to the District of Columbia to hear President Trump speak and that he and Hunter Seefried participated in the march from the White House to the Capitol led by an individual with a bull horn,” according to the document.

The document also says that video footage on Twitter shows Hunter Seefried punching out glass in a window at the Capitol after it was smashed by others with a wooden two-by-four.

Biden Covid advisor: Releasing most vaccine doses won’t cause shortage

The Biden administration’s plan to release nearly every available dose of coronavirus vaccines to states shouldn’t cause any supply issues down the road, a member of President-elect Joe Biden’s Covid-19 advisory board said Thursday. The advisory team has had numerous conversations with vaccine makers Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, among others, about supply issues, said Dr. Celine Gounder. Barring some unforeseen “manufacturing snafu,” the Biden administration is “confident” there won’t be problems getting people their second shots on time, she said.

China bars two members of WHO coronavirus mission as depleted team reaches Wuhan – The Washington Post

two researchers were kept in Singapore, where they were transiting, and prevented from continuing to Wuhan after failing to clear health checks. China requires all airline passengers to present negative antibody tests before being able to travel to the country.

The pair had tested positive for coronavirus antibodies in their home countries before leaving. All members of the team, tested before leaving and once again in Singapore, tested negative for the virus.

Why Indonesia is prioritizing the young for coronavirus vaccines – The Washington Post

In Indonesia, that means prioritizing the working-age population, who have accounted for the majority of confirmed cases in the country. The rollout is “focusing on people who have to meet lots of people as part of their work; motorbike taxi, police, military,” Budi said, according to the BBC. “So, I don’t want people to think this is about just the economy. This is about protecting people.”

The government plans to inoculate some 1.5 million health workers with the Sinovac vaccine by next month, Reuters reported. Police officers, members of the military, teachers and civil servants will also be prioritized before the vaccine is offered to the broader population of adults under 60.

Indonesia’s hope is that by slowing down community spread in younger residents, they will still protect older people from being infected by relatives or close contacts. Many families in Indonesia live in intergenerational households that make it nearly impossible for older relatives to isolate from younger family members.

Facebook Has Been Showing Military Gear Ads Next To Insurrection Posts

Facebook has been running ads for body armor, gun holsters, and other military equipment next to content promoting election misinformation and news about the attempted coup at the US Capitol, despite internal warnings from concerned employees…

“Facebook has spent years facilitating fringe voices who use the platform to organize and amplify calls for violence,” said TTP Director Katie Paul. “As if that weren’t enough, Facebook’s advertising microtargeting is directing domestic extremists toward weapons accessories and armor that can make their militarized efforts more effective, all while Facebook profits.”

Ex-Firefighter Robert Sanford Arrested for Allegedly Hurling Fire Extinguisher at Cops During Capitol Riots

Robert Sanford, a 55-year-old from Chester, Pennsylvania, faces three felony charges, including assaulting a police officer, after he was allegedly caught on camera hurling the extinguisher as the mob stormed past Capitol Police officers and broke into the building on Jan. 6. He was taken into custody by the FBI in Pennsylvania Thursday morning just before 6 a.m., a source with knowledge of the matter told The Daily Beast.

According to a criminal complaint, the “video was shot from an elevated position and showed an area of the Capitol with a large group of police officers surrounded on at least three sides by a group of insurrectionists.” The complaint added that the extinguisher hit three officers in the head, “including one who was not wearing a helmet.”

Kevin Seefried, who was wanted by the FBI after being photographed carrying the Confederate battle flag outside the Senate floor, was arrested on Thursday in Delaware, The New York Times first reported.

Thomas Gallagher, 61, was also arrested on several charges on Thursday for allegedly refusing Capitol Police commands near the House Atrium during Jan. 6 attack. Gallagher is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in New Hampshire Thursday afternoon.
