Capitol rioter Aaron Mostofsky dressed in fur and a police vest, is brother of Nachman & son of Shlomo Mostofsky who both had leadership roles with National Council of Young Israel - a group that honored Giuliani associates Lev Parnas & Igor Fruman in 2019

"When the history of the Trump administration is written, much will be made of the president undermining democracy at home. But as the Congo episode shows, he also did so abroad."
