The rioter, Philip Sean Grillo of New York City, announced after his sentencing, “Trump’s gonna pardon me anyways,” as a US marshal had him remove his belt and tie before handcuffing him inside the courtroom.
Lamberth also spoke extensively about his role as a federal judge to facilitate the discovery of facts, apply the law and carry out justice.
“Even nonviolent defendants merit punishment.”Grillo’s defense attorney asked Lamberth to give Grillo a day to turn himself in voluntarily, and Lamberth said no.
“Don’t worry, Phil,” one of the friends shouted immediately after Lamberth left the courtroom.
The man declined to say who on Trump’s team he had spoken with.
