Beverly Hills physician Simone Gold pleaded guilty Thursday to unlawful entering and remaining in the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.
Gold, a prominent anti-vaxxer who gained notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic, and an associate, John Herbert Strand, also of Beverly Hills, were indicted in January 2021 on five charges, including obstruction, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted government building.
Gold said little at Thursday's hearing before a U.S. District Court judge for the District of Columbia beyond "yes, your honor" and asking him to refer to her as Dr. Gold, rather than Ms. Gold.
