Another military presence at the Capitol in January was the Veterans in Defence of Liberty – an organisation run by shadowy radical-right network Council for National Policy (CNP) member Dr Scott Magill. CNP’s membership includes radical-right actors, donors and Trump allies.
Magill emailed his “fellow warriors and friends” to answer Trump’s “clarion call” and to “not concede.” He argued that “we are in an undeclared civil war.”
