Emily Rainey in a May 2020 interview.
An Army officer under scrutiny amid the D.C. insurrection was already leaving her commission. Captain
Emily Rainey, who led a group of Trump supporters to Washington the day of the chaos, was already scheduled to leave the Army next month after she got a letter of reprimand for behavior at a previous protest around Fort Bragg, where she is assigned, according to
CBS.
Rainey has denied wrongdoing in connection to the events of that day, telling
The Associated Press she followed military regulations, and was acting as a private citizen. She said she did not know of anyone in the group–100 members of the Moore County Citizens for Freedom–entering the Capitol Building, and that they left for their buses before the emergency curfew.
Other supporters of President
Donald Trump have been charged in connection to that day,
largely for forcing their way into the closed Capitol Building as Congress was certifying the electoral college results for President-elect
Joe Biden. The incumbent had incessantly been lying that he actually won the 2020 presidential election and that it was stolen from him.
“We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” he said in a
speech before the insurrection. Five people died in the chaos: Four Trump supporters, and a Capitol police officer. A second officer died by suicide on Saturday.
As for Rainey, Fort Bragg commanders said they were investigating her involvement in the day’s events. An official with the Department of Defense also said they were looking into how many Fort Bragg soldiers went with her to D.C.
Rainey, a member of the 4th Psychological Operations Group (PSYOPS) at Fort Bragg, was charged last year in North Carolina after she recorded herself taking down caution tape at a playground amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
“All you freedom fighters,” she said in video reported by
WRAL. “This is for you.”
