Ali Alexander, formerly, known as Ali Akbar, the Stop the Steal organizer who claimed three sitting U.S. congressmen helped plan the rally that came before the insurrection, has been subpoenaed by the January 6th Select Committee along with fellow rally organizer Nathan Martin. The committee is seeking records from Stop the Steal LLC in addition to Alexander and Martin.
Alexander bragged on live streams last December that he and Trump-supporting Republican Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) were working on a plot to exert “maximum pressure on Congress” during the vote to certify Biden’s electoral victory. The day before the attack, Alexander led a group in a “victoryORdeath” chant at a rally, the committee said. During the events at the Capitol, Alexander filmed a video of himself looking over the crowd from afar and saying, “I don’t disavow this. I do not denounce this.”
Following the events of January 6th, Alexander went into hiding  and frantically tried to erase his affiliation with numerous Stop the Steal web domains he owned.Â
Alexander and his cohort, Brandan Straka were also both named in a lawsuit brought by the Capitol Police harmed by the January 6 insurrection. According to Damon Hewitt, President and Executive Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, “As this lawsuit makes clear, the January 6 insurrection was not just an attack on individuals, but an attack on democracy itself. It was a blatant attempt to stifle the votes and voices of millions of Americans."
In the suit, Alexander, along with other defendants, are accused of “violating two provisions of the federal KuKluxKlan Act, which forbids conspiracies to use force, intimidation, and threats to prevent federal officers from doing their jobs or to injure them in the course of their work.”
Alexander has made some changes in his life in order to hide his past. Previously, he went by Ali Akbar. And a search of that named shows he was found guilty on several charges to prior changing his name.
Court documents indicate he found trouble with the law back in 2007 when he pled guilty to a felony property theft charge out of Fort Worth, Texas. He was sentenced to 12 months probation, according to documents. Again, in 2008, Alexander pled guilty to a credit card abuse felony charge out of Texas.

Two days after the insurrection on Capitol Hill, Trump sent what turned out to be his last ever tweet before he was hit with a permanent ban for inciting the insurrection. “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20,” he wrote on Jan. 8. But, according to a new book, that wasn’t entirely Trump’s own decision. Jonathan Karl writes in Betrayal, that Trump only announced that he wouldn’t attend the inauguration after he caught wind of Mitch McConnell’s plan to disinvite him from the event. “McConnell felt he could not give Trump another opportunity to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power,” Karl reported. “McConnell wanted to get a letter together from the top four congressional leaders informing Trump that he had been disinvited.” However, before the letter could be written, Kevin McCarthy reportedly blabbed about the plan to Trump, who then sent his final tweet to make it appear as if he had made the call. 🤣
