Millie Weaver, a 29-year-old conservative journalist known to her fans as Millenial Millie, was arrested at her home in Ohio Friday morning. Her indictment was “secret” and she is being held without bail until at least today for a “tentative status hearing.”
Millie Weaver is one of my favorite independent journalists. She’s also a young mom. I was shocked to see this heavy-handed arrest. With her friends’ permission, I have set up a GoFundMe — please join me in chipping in. https://t.co/zsWPUMAUee pic.twitter.com/YFUOdvLtPf

Weaver is reportedly being charged with alleged “robbery, tampering with evidence, obstruction justice, and domestic violence.”
On Friday, Weaver and her husband were set to release an 82-minute independent documentary called Shadow Gate, which delves into the role the “shadow government” played in attempting to carry out a coup against President Trump.
Weaver writes on her website of the film:
The material presented in this documentary should concern people of all political affiliations given elected officials are not the shadow government. This is about real players [whose] names never come up but should. Corrupt carrier politicians are definitely part of the beltway swamp, even aspects of the deep state, but they are not the shadow government. Two whistleblowers, who worked extensively within the Shadow Government as contractors have come forward with revelations that may be the biggest whistleblowing event to date.
After getting millions of views following its upload to Facebook and YouTube, both platforms removed the film with YouTube saying it violated its rules against “hate speech.”
