Jake Lang: podcast appearances and interviews

Edward Jacob Lang, born in 1995 or 1996, is an American involved in far-right activism and politics. He participated in the events at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, which led to him serving four years in prison. His legal charges related to the incident were dismissed by President Donald Trump in 2025, when he issued a pardon for defendants involved in the attack. Lang is a Republican candidate in the 2026 U.S. Senate special election in Florida. He has encountered legal issues beyond his prison sentence, including a summons for failing to appear in court for a hearing related to threats made to a Capitol Police officer at a January 6 anniversary event. Additionally, he is scheduled for a trial in Minneapolis in July 2026 on suspicion of a felony connected to defacing an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement ice sculpture at the Minnesota State Capitol. Further legal challenges include an arrest in Dallas County, Texas, in June 2026, on charges of making a terroristic threat, with his bond initially set at one million dollars and later reduced to two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
