Capitol Riot

A federal judge has ruled that former Vice President Mike Pence will have to testify before a grand jury in the federal probe into efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election.

Conspiracy to obstruct Congress and obstruction of Congress both carry a sentence of up to 20 years behind bars.

Pence's remarks were the sharpest condemnation yet of his former boss.

The Justice Department says former President Donald Trump can be sued by injured Capitol Police officers and Democratic lawmakers over the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Former West Virginia politician Derrick Evans told a judge he regretted his actions, but is now calling himself a “J6 Patriot.” The first Jan. 6 defendant to be sentenced apologized in court but later seemed to minimize the Capitol riot.

Matthew Greene testified on Tuesday in the case against former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio.

Four members of the Oath Keepers have been convicted of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack in the second major trial involving far-right extremists accused of plotting to forcibly keep President Donald Trump in power.

The Jan. 6 committee’s report asserts that Trump criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 election and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol.

The committee's referrals to the Justice Department carry no legal weight since federal prosecutors are already conducting their own investigation and are the sole deciders of whether to pursue charges against Trump.

The January 6 Committee referred Trump to the DOJ for criminal prosecution.

The Jan. 6 panel voted unanimously to adopt its final report and refer Donald Trump and his associates for criminal prosecution.

The committee has called what happened on Jan. 6 an “attempted coup" that warrants criminal prosecution from the Justice Department.

The panel is reportedly considering recommending an unprecedented insurrection charge against former President Donald Trump.

Opening statements are expected in the second seditious conspiracy trial against members of the far-right Oath Keepers group two weeks after two leaders were convicted for what prosecutors said was a violent plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
