According to CNBC in “FBI raids home of Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate”:

“Federal agents raided Ryan Kelley’s home in Allendale, Michigan, on Thursday morning. NBC News received a tip about the raid, which was confirmed by a law enforcement official.

“An FBI spokesperson later confirmed that a search warrant was executed at the home where Kelley was arrested. He faces four charges related to his alleged actions at the Capitol, including disorderly conduct and willfully injuring or attacking U.S. property.” [emphasis added]

Ryan Kelley is the current Republican gubernatorial candidate in the state of Michigan. As for what federal law enforcement authorities claim they can prove about Kelley’s actions at the U.S. Capitol:

“A statement from an FBI special agent, released by Justice Department officials Thursday, includes and describes video footage and other images that indicate Kelley was involved in breaching the Capitol and directing others to participate.

“‘At approximately 2:20 p.m., Kelley continued to gesture to the crowd, consistently indicating that they should move towards the stairs that led to the entrance of the U.S. Capitol interior spaces,’ the agent states.” [emphasis added]

There has been no statement from Kelley or his campaign as this post goes to publication.
