More Bundy Sons, Trump Campaigner Charged in Nevada Ranch Standoff

Twelve people were arrested Thursday in connection with a 2014 armed protest on the Bundy Ranch in Nevada — including two more of rancher Cliven Bundy’s sons and a New Hampshire man linked to Donald Trump’s campaign.

The arrests marked the first law-enforcement sweep since Bundy, two other sons and two other men were charged last month in the armed confrontation with federal agents. The five previously charges were already in custody when they were indicted.

In a dramatic showdown, federal agents who seized Bundy’s cattle over unpaid grazing fees backed off after being confronted with armed protesters and snipers on Aug. 12, 2014.

“This investigation began the day after the assault against federal law enforcement officers and continues to this day,” U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada Daniel Bogden said in a statement. “We will continue to work to identify the assaulters and their role in the assault and the aftermath, in order to ensure that justice is served.” (Read more from “More Bundy Sons, Trump Campaigner Charged in Nevada Ranch Standoff” HERE)
