Claim 3: “But no such infrastructure — much less truckloads of supplies — accompanied the Jan. 6 rioters’ confrontations with police at the US Capitol.”
DISPUTED
The claim asserts a lack of infrastructure/supplies for Jan 6. However, evidence from Voice of America and other sources discusses the nature of the rioters. While some were 'normal' supporters, the claim that there was 'no such infrastructure' is a point of active debate and contradiction in broader reporting on the event's organization.

Claim 7: “Under federal law, codified at 18 USC 2331(5), such events could be deemed domestic terrorism.”
DISPUTED
The evidence from LII/Legal Information Institute and Casetext shows that 18 USC 2331 is a 'Definitions' section. It defines terms like 'specially designated global terrorist', but it does not provide a statutory definition for 'domestic terrorism' that would allow 'events' to be deemed as such in the manner described. The claim misrepresents the content of the cited statute.
