The indictment also says Tarrio provided Lieutenant Lamond with information about the January 6 attack.
"Looks like the feds are locking people up for rioting at the Capitol. I hope none of your guys were among them," Lieutenant Lamond told Tarrio in a Telegram message two days after the siege.
"So far from what I'm seeing and hearing we're good," Tarrio replied.
"Great to hear," Lieutenant Lamond wrote.
"Of course I can't say it officially, but personally I support you all and don't want to see your group's name and reputation dragged through the mud."
