A pro-Trump livestreamer in an Uncle Sam costume was arrested on the opening day of President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair, after three separate witnesses accused him of committing a lewd act in public while filming female acrobats performing on Washington's National Mall.
According to police documents, Gian Rachtelli, 54, was charged with one count of 'lewd, indecent, or obscene acts' after three witnesses independently reported him to law enforcement on 24 June 2026. The arrest, which unfolded in front of the Cirque Mechanics acrobatic show, has become a striking early controversy for an event that has faced challenges since its inception.
