USA Today has identified Oliver Krvaric, a young Republican star and scion of a powerful GOP family from San Diego, as one of the rioters at the Capitol on January 6.
He would also be the first full-time employee of the Trump administration identified entering the Capitol in the insurrection.
“Asked whether he was at the Jan. 6 riot, Krvaric initially told USA Today he was not. Pressed about the photos that online researchers say show him that day, Krvaric acknowledged he attended former President Donald Trump’s speech, but said he didn’t go inside the Capitol. Asked about images that appear to show him inside the Capitol, he then said he didn’t remember whether he went inside. Sent copies and links to the footage, he stopped responding.”
