A Texas man who assaulted a police officer during the U.S. Capitol riot and posted death threats against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) after the insurrection was sentenced to 38 months in prison on Wednesday.
The big picture: Garret Miller, 36, of Richardson, Texas, was "at the forefront of every barrier overturned, police line overrun, and entryway breached within his proximity" and was twice detained outside the building, U.S. prosecutors said in a sentencing memorandum to the judge.
