A writer for a conservative media outlet has pleaded guilty to charges related to his involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The writer, who has covered the riot for Blaze News, entered his guilty plea on the day his bench trial was scheduled to begin.
The writer, 64, had requested a delay in his case until after the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, who has indicated a willingness to issue pardons to Capitol riot defendants. However, the judge denied the request, and the writer proceeded with his guilty plea.
