A January 6 rioter has been allowed by a judge to travel to Washington D.C. and attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. Concretely, judge Tanya S. Chutkan granted Eric Lee Peterson's motion to modify the condition of his legal situation and is now also allowed to travel "within the entirety of the Kansas City Metropolitan area."
The development comes as January 6 rioters facing legal proceedings hope for leniency once Trump takes office.
