Actually he agreed not to go to DC without judges permission. He said screw that and went anyway. Now he’s in trouble. Hope it was worth it.
He didn’t go to DC
Wrong. The article and the response by the Defense specifically says that he was not allowed to go to DC without prior court/pre-trial approval and is required to observe an 8PM curfew if he lodges in DC.
He had permission to be in DC to observe J6 trials, which he did with his attorney. He did not lodge in DC and his ankle monitor can prove it.
He was also not to have contact with the J6 defendants in the cases he observed, and the government is not alleging that he did.
CPAC was held in Maryland, outside of DC, so he was not in violation of the court pre-trial restrictions and there is no curfew except for the DC curfew. His mode of transportation is also not restricted by the court, but, none the less, he can prove that he drove there, (ankle monitor).
This is pure prosecutorial harassment since he met with Gaetz and several J6 defendants which were not the defendants in the cases he observed.
