Justice Department Official Urged Rioters to ‘Kill’ Cops

“Less than five years after urging rioters to ‘kill’ police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration,” NPR reports.

“NPR has obtained police bodycam footage from multiple angles of the former defendant and current administration official, Jared Wise, berating officers and calling them ‘Nazi’ and ‘Gestapo.'”

“NPR also obtained the transcript of Wise’s testimony, in which he acknowledged that he repeatedly yelled ‘kill ’em’ as officers were being attacked and tried to explain his actions.”
