An Arkansas man, facing federal charges for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, is raising money for his legal defense.
Richard Barnett, also known as “Bigo,” became one of the most public faces of the breach at the Capitol when he was photographed in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with his feet propped up on a desk. Now for a donation of $100 or more, people can receive a signed copy of that photo.
The website for Richard "Bigo" Barnett, who faces multiple federal charges as part of the pro-Trump mob that breached the Capitol, also says that he would email a copy of the court filing that resulted in his release from jail for a contribution of $25.
Richard Bigo Barnett, 60, from Gravette, Arkansas, set up a website asking for money where he will send personally inscribed autographed photos of himself from the January 6 insurrection.
