A Massachusetts man, Ryan Michael “Reily” English, was arrested at U.S. Capitol, made threats to kill Trump Cabinet members, police say:
A Massachusetts man was arrested Monday at the U.S. Capitol after allegedly bringing two Molotov cocktails and multiple weapons, with the stated intent to kill Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, newly confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
.
Federal prosecutors revealed that Ryan Michael “Reily” English, the suspect, voluntarily turned himself in to U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), confessing to carrying makeshift Molotov cocktails fashioned from small vodka bottles and several knives.
.
According to a criminal affidavit obtained by The Gateway Pundit, which was filed by Special Agent Peter Campopiano of the United States Capitol Police (USCP), English approached an officer near the South Door of the Capitol Building around 3:12 PM on Monday.
.
During the encounter, English stated, “I’d like to turn myself in,” and admitted possession of the dangerous devices.
.
Upon being detained and searched, officers discovered a folding knife, two incendiary devices made from vodka bottles with cloth affixed to the tops, and a lighter.
.
English revealed that his primary target was Scott Bessent, the newly confirmed Secretary of the Treasury, but also indicated broader plans to attack other prominent figures, including Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
.
His initial plan, according to the affidavit, involved traveling to Washington, D.C., to carry out what he described as a mission to “depose” political offices and send a message.

English admitted to law enforcement that he intended to use the vodka bottles, filled with alcohol and fitted with cloth soaked in hand sanitizer, as weapons to “start fires” and possibly stab his intended targets.
.
In addition to the weapons found on his person, a search of English’s vehicle revealed a larger bottle of vodka and a sweatshirt with its sleeves cut into rags, which matched the materials used in the makeshift bombs.
.
A manifesto was also discovered, written on the back of a receipt. It conveyed guilt and despair, expressed a yearning to retaliate against perceived injustices, and included a heartfelt plea to someone named “Judith” to “stay alive and heal.”
.
English told authorities he expected his actions to result in his death, possibly through a violent confrontation with police, indicating an acceptance of “suicide by cop.”
.
The affidavit detailed how English meticulously prepared for his attack, leaving his phone at home to avoid surveillance, purchasing an atlas for navigation, and wearing concealing clothing while obtaining materials for his incendiary devices.
