The Department of Justice charged a man who allegedly participated in the Capitol riot and used his charity, the American Phoenix Project, to protest the 2020 presidential election and promote violence, according to court documents.
Alan Hostetter, 56, told the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) he created the American Phoenix Project to spread awareness about vaccines and to protect “human and civil rights” on his May 2020 application, according to the indictment. Hostetter reportedly claimed the election was stolen and promoted violence against political opponents through his tax-exempt nonprofit.
