Former Army Ranger from Pa. charged with assaulting cops during Capitol riot faces DC bench trial

Former Army Ranger Robert Morss, the Glenshaw, Pennsylvania man charged with storming the Capitol and assaulting police in support of former President Donald Trump's election lies, will go on trial without a jury on Aug. 29 in the District of Columbia.

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden on Tuesday set a bench trial date for Morss and three other defendants.

All four face felony charges related to attacking police during the Jan. 6 insurrection, and all elected to choose a bench trial. A second group of accused rioters is awaiting trial.
