They’ve pressed forward even though a majority of Americans still see the Capitol rioters as responsible for an attack against democracy, according to the most recent polling. The most pressing concerns are for convicted rioters required to report to prison before Trump’s inauguration in January, and for rioters with sentencing hearings coming up, according to a source familiar with the discussions. “They’re thrilled with the election, but there’s a lot of uncertainty from their perspective,” the source told CNN. For convicted rioters already serving prison sentences, there’s even less hope to get them out based on Trump’s campaign rhetoric, the source said. She later told CNN that her strategy guide has already been sent to Trump and the Republican National Committee.

Attorneys for some defendants also suggested Trump’s victory was unfair in light of the fact that rioters are still being prosecuted and sentenced. Talk of potential presidential pardons permeated at least one violent rioter’s sentencing Thursday, when Zachary Alam told a judge he had no remorse for his actions. I want a full pardon.”“Instead of pardons of innocence, some January 6ers should receive pardons of patriotism,” Alam added. US District Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, later said Alam was “delusional” to think that his actions on January 6 were patriotic. Alam was convicted on multiple felony and misdemeanor counts stemming from his participation in the Capitol attack.

WASHINGTON — A Jan. 6 rioter who was the subject of right-wing conspiracy theories suggesting he was a plant who worked with law enforcement was sentenced to eight years in prison Thursday, among the longest prison sentences given in connection with the U.S. Capitol attack. In court Thursday, Alam said his fellow Jan. 6 inmates saw the segment in the jail in Washington when it aired on the local Sinclair station, WJLA. “They came to the conclusion that I was a confidential human source,” Alam said of his fellow Jan. 6 defendants. (President-elect Trump has called Capitol rioters “political prisoners” and “hostages” and said he would “absolutely” consider pardoning every one of them). Even after he saw fellow rioter Ashli Babbitt get shot and killed, Alam was still calling for violence, Lederer said.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed Wednesday that his 2024 Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, “happened to turn Black” a few years ago, saying that “all of a sudden, she made a turn” in her identity. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” the former president said. You have attacked Black journalists, calling them a ‘loser,’ saying the questions they ask are, quote, ‘stupid’ and ‘racist.’ You’ve had dinner with a White supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. You’re voting for the president,” Trump said.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former police officer who is seeking to throw out an obstruction charge for joining the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, in a ruling that could benefit former President Donald Trump. Prosecutors in Trump's case said that even if Fischer wins, Trump's conduct would still be covered by a narrower interpretation of the statute. Fischer faces seven criminal charges, only one of which was the focus of the Supreme Court case. Even if the obstruction charge is ultimately dismissed, the other charges, including assaulting a police officer and entering a restricted building, will remain in place. In his election interference case, Trump faces four charges, including one count of obstructing an official proceeding and another of conspiracy to do so.

Some justices expressed similar sentiments during Tuesday's arguments, asking whether the statute in question could be used to prosecute peaceful protesters, including people who at times have disrupted Supreme Court proceedings. Trump himself faces charges of violating the same law, as well as conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. Fischer faces seven criminal charges, only one of which is the focus of the Supreme Court case. He also faces charges of assaulting a police officer and entering a restricted building, among others. Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh questioned why the Justice Department needed to charge Fischer using the obstruction statute, noting that he faces the six other charges.

Shane Jenkins, 46, tried to smash a Capitol window with his tomahawk during the Jan. 6, 2021, siege. It displays a cartoon avatar of Jenkins, nicknamed Skullet, and a logo depicting crossed tomahawks below a silhouette of the Capitol building. Prosecutors don't know how much money Jenkins has generated from the website's merchandise sales. They also asked the judge to impose a fine of at least $118,888, equaling the money Jenkins has publicly raised. Jenkins flew from Houston to Washington, D.C., a day before Trump’s rally near the White House on Jan. 6.

A Kentucky man who used a flagpole to batter a door near the House chamber during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was found guilty in federal court in Washington on Wednesday on nine counts, including civil disorder and disruption of an official proceeding, prosecutors said. During the encounter, which was captured on video from multiple angles, rioters came close enough to lock eyes with lawmakers, separated only by a few officers and antique wood-and-glass doors. Judge Richard J. Leon of the Federal District Court in Washington found Mr. Jones guilty after a bench trial on two felony and seven misdemeanor charges, including the destruction of government property. The judge denied the government’s request to treat the flagpole that Mr. Jones was carrying as a dangerous weapon, reducing four of the six felony counts that he had initially faced to misdemeanors. “We were disappointed in the verdict, but we understand and respect the judge’s decision,” William Brennan, a lawyer for Mr. Jones, said in an interview.

Russia has expanded its list of sanctioned Americans in a tit-for-tat retaliation for the latest curbs imposed by the United States. But what is particularly striking is how much President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia is adopting perceived enemies of former President Donald J. Trump as his own. Brad Raffensperger, the secretary of state of Georgia who rebuffed Mr. Trump’s pressure to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election, also made the list. None of those three has anything to do with Russia policy and the only reason they would have come to Moscow’s attention is because Mr. Trump has publicly assailed them. He also refused to commit to supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia if he is elected president again, saying instead he would seek to mediate between Kyiv and Moscow.
Fact-checking Trump’s CNN town hall in New Hampshire

CNN —CNN hosted a town hall with 2024 Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump on Wednesday night in New Hampshire. 2020 ElectionJust minutes after the town hall began, Trump claimed the 2020 election was “rigged.”Facts First: This is Trump’s regular lie. Trump claimed Wednesday that he got gas prices down to $1.87 – and “even lower” – but they increased to $7, $8 or even $9 under Biden. The Presidential Records Act says that the moment a president leaves office, the National Archives and Records Administration gets legal custody and control of all presidential records from his administration. First, there’s no provision for negotiating over Presidential records at the end of a term.
Notably, Trump refused to plant a flag in the sand on a potential federal abortion ban. Trump is vague on federal abortion banTrump repeatedly ducked questions about whether he would sign into law a federal abortion ban, as well as after how many weeks into a pregnancy abortion should be made illegal. He touted the Supreme Court’s decision last year to overturn Roe v. Wade’s federal abortion rights as “such a great victory” – and one made possible by his appointment of three conservative justices. But Trump also recognized splits within the GOP over whether to impose a federal abortion ban, and what the conditions of such a ban should be. “We now have a great negotiating ability, and I think we’re going to be able to get something done,” Trump said.
[1/4] Former U.S. President Donald Trump attends the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at Gaylord National Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, U.S., March 4, 2023. The three-day conference illustrated the iron grip he holds over the right-wing, grassroots base of his party and how hard it could be for a challenger to deny Trump the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. DeSantis also attended a gathering for Republican donors in Florida held by the anti-tax group Club for Growth to which Trump was not invited. In his remarks, Bannon maintained that Trump should be the Republican nominee, saying DeSantis and other potential challengers lacked experience. Trump and DeSantis both are scheduled in the coming days to visit Iowa, which holds the first Republican nominating contest next year.
Kevin McCarthy broke with Marjorie Taylor Greene's position on the death of Ashli Babbitt. After Greene claimed Capitol rioter Babbitt was "murdered" on January 6, McCarthy disagreed. But she went on to make a direct comparison to Babbitt's death, saying: "There's a woman in this room whose daughter was murdered on January 6, Ashli Babbitt. The Department of Justice closed its investigation into Babbitt's death in April 2021, saying there were insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges. Greene was later added to two of the most high-profile committee seats: the House Homeland Security Committee and the House Oversight Committee.
The mother of Ashli Babbitt, who died during the Capitol riot, was arrested on Friday. A video shows her demonstrating in Washington, DC and refusing to follow police orders to get out of the road. Capitol Police said she was arrested for failing to obey police orders and blocking and obstructing roadways. Capitol Police said in a statement that Micki Witthoeft, 58, was arrested on Friday for failing to obey police orders and blocking and obstructing roadways. As she is being arrested, those around her can be heard saying, "you're arresting Ashli Babbitt's mother," and later chanting the dead woman's name.
Trump showed no "remorse" when he was told Babbitt had been shot, the Jan. 6 committee found. "We found no evidence that the President expressed any remorse that day," the committee said. Babbitt was among several Trump supporters who tried to break into the House chamber on January 6. Babbitt was in a group of Trump supporters who tried to break into the House chamber, where several lawmakers were sheltering amid the siege. Trump sent the tweet despite "knowing the riot was underway and that Vice President Pence was at the Capitol," the committee said in its introductory report.
Prosecutors are recommending 6.5 years in prison for a Florida man convicted of Jan. 6-related crimes. William Rogan Reid was found guilty in August of multiple felonies and misdemeanors related to the siege. Reid showed "absolutely no remorse" in the aftermath of the attack, according to prosecutors. William Rogan Reid, 37, was convicted in August on several felony and misdemeanor charges related to the insurrection, including obstruction of an official proceeding and altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing a record. Authorities ultimately arrested William Rogan Reid on April 1, 2021 — the same day he told his Discord followers that he wanted to stage an April fools joke on the FBI.
The House Select Committee revealed a new audio clip of the Oath Keepers on January 6. It shows communications among Oath Keepers that day, the committee said. In the clip, one man can be heard relishing the prospect of hurting members of Congress. The video shared by the committee with the audio shows some members of the Oath Keepers, dressed in tactical military gear, walking around the Capitol Rotunda. A second man responded: "There is no safe place in the United States for these motherfuckers right now, let me tell you."
A man photographed wearing an antisemitic sweatshirt during the Capitol riot has pleaded guilty. Robert Packer on Wednesday pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor trespassing charge. Robert Packer, 57, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one trespassing charge stemming from his role in the insurrection. The count carries a possible six-month prison sentence, though other Capitol defendants who have pleaded guilty to the same charge have received little to no jail time.
