Jared Lane Wise was scheduled to go to trial 10 days before Donald Trump returned to the White House.
Wise admitted to urging rioters to “kill” law enforcement at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and faced six counts in connection with the riots. The former FBI agent berated police as “Nazis” and “Gestapo” and testified that he would be “morally justified” if he had assaulted them in defense of what he viewed as excessive force, according to court documents.
