Sheriff Confirms Emily Rainey Questioned Over North Carolina Power Outage

Emily Grace Rainey, a former U.S. Army psychological operations officer who led a group to a rally in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, said deputies questioned her about mass power outages in North Carolina after she posted on social media that she knew why they occurred. At a news conference on Sunday, Sheriff Ronnie Fields said the attack "was targeted," but that authorities have not determined a motive. The FBI and state investigators have joined the inquiry, Fields said.
