LANSING, Mich. — Ryan Kelley, a former candidate for Michigan governor, repeatedly declined under oath to identify himself in videos from the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a newly released transcript of his interview with investigators for a U.S. House committee.
Kelley, who came in fourth place in the GOP primary race for governor on Aug. 2, told officials from the U.S. House's Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol that he did nothing unlawful.
But, Kelley contended during a sworn deposition under the penalty of perjury that his First Amendment right to peaceful assembly protected him from having to identify himself.
