The Munn Family: Entire family of five sentenced for their parts in the January 6 Capitol Insurrection
To paraphrase a popular cliché, “The family that insurrects and riots at the U.S. Capitol together – gets sentenced together.” The most recent revelations as outlined in yesterday’s House Committee Hearing regarding the seriousness of what went down at the Capitol during the January 6, 2021 riot, brings a whole new level of attention to the events that led up to the mob riot and how important it is now more than ever – that those that engaged in the violence are brought to justice.

Also this week, we learned that a family of five – the Munn family from Borger, Texas – also took part in the insurrection. They were all criminally charged for their involvement and arrested.
The Huffington Post reported that the parents, Dawn and Thomas Munn, brought four of their children with them to the insurrection. Three of their kids are adults.
Back in July 2021, Kristi, Thomas, Dawn, Joshua and Kayli Munn, were all charged with
- Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds,
- Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds
- Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building, and
- Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building
You can see their official charging documents here.

Background:
On January 9, 2021, the FBI received information from a tipster that Kristi Munn entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. During a follow-up interview, the tipster reported that Kristi Munn and other members of her family traveled from Texas to Washington, D.C. for the rally that occurred on January 6, 2021. The tipster provided two screenshots of Kristi Munn’s Facebook account and six screenshots of Kristi Munn’s Snapchat account, which the tipster had seen posted to Kristi Munn’s accounts.
The display name on the Facebook account is “Kristi Marie Munn” and the display name on the Snapchat account is “Kristi Munn.” The tipster is a relative of Kristi Munn’s fiancé. The tipster has personally met Kristi Munn and spent time with her during the 2020 Christmas holiday season, which was less than a month before January 6, 2021.
The tipster also provided Kristi Munn’s telephone number and claimed that she lived with her fiancé, both of which I verified to be true. One of the Facebook screenshots provided by the tipster was a post of a photograph of Kristi Munn and five additional individuals who were “tagged” in the post as Facebook users Tom Munn, Dawn Munn, Kayli Munn, Minor Child 1 (MC1), and Josh Munn.
According to Facebook, when you tag someone, you create a link to their profile. Kristi Munn added text to the photograph: “Washington D.C. here we come… #StopTheSteal #TrumpIsMyPresident.”
The tipster provided six Snapchat screenshots from Kristi Munn’s Snapchat account that were posted on January 6, 2021, to her Snapchat Story. Information at the top of the screenshots indicates that the photographs were posted to the account bearing the name “Kristi Munn.” Based on my training and experience, it appears the screenshots were taken near the U.S. Capitol. The Snapchat screenshots are included below in Figures 3, 4, 5, – and Figures 6, 7, and 8.
The extensive Criminal Complaint lodged against the Munn Family thoroughly documents their involvement in the insurrection and comes complete with an array of photographs and video screenshots of all the family members inside and outside the U.S. Capitol. See the images below.
