According to court records, he\u2019s set to appear in court again Thursday to determine whether he will be released and the conditions of his possible release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.nced.212351\/gov.uscourts.nced.212351.1.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">federal indictment<\/a> claims Nix dealt firearms without a license and possessed and sold stolen firearms. It also alleges Nix lied on his security clearance application when he indicated he had never been a member of a group dedicated to using violence to overthrow the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe statements and representations were false because as the defendant then and there knew, he had been a member of a group dedicated to the use of violence or force to overthrow the United States government and which engaged in activities to that end,\u201d the indictment reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit advocacy organization, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/hatewatch\/2024\/08\/19\/we-will-fight-soldier-waging-war-against-america-fort-liberty\" target=\"_blank\">claimed Monday<\/a> that Nix belonged to Patriot Front, a white supremacist group. The SPLC also claimed Nix ran a channel on Telegram that aimed to find and release the personal information of journalists, politicians and liberal activists, a practice known as doxxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities with the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating the case with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Department, the Justice Department said. The U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina and the National Security Division\u2019s Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>This story was produced in partnership with <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvj.network\/\"><i>Military Veterans in Journalism<\/i><\/a><i>.
