A retired New Jersey State Police trooper has been dealt federal charges after being caught on video during the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 — as he claims he was looking for a restroom.
A New Jersey man on trial for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion literally played dumb on the witness stand during his federal trial in Washington, DC.
Several New Jersey communities have volunteers planning to join a nationwide, grassroots campaign to mark one year since the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
The 17th person from New Jersey charged with being part of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol is the Bergen County Oath Keepers leader who tried to downplay his activity that day when asked by federal investigators, officials say.
U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, a conservative who has represented NJ's 4th Congressional District for 40 years, said he hoped the "Commission will establish the truth and provide a way forward to ensure that such an attack never happens again."
