(CNN)Justice Department prosecutors have formally walked back their assertion in a court filing that said Capitol rioters sought to "capture and assassinate elected officials."
A federal prosecutor in Arizona asked a magistrate judge in a hearing on Friday to strike the line in a recent court filing about defendant Jacob Anthony Chansley, a man who is alleged to have led some in the crowd in the first wave into the Capitol with a bullhorn while carrying a spear and wearing a fur headdress.
The entire line the prosecutors want to omit from their court filing is: "Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government."
The stunning move comes a few hours after Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, said at a press conference there was "no direct evidence of kill and capture teams" at this time in the siege of the Capitol building.

Rush is exactly right we live in a communist country now
CNN was right ther when John Sullivan came out, then blamned MAGA when they arrived after Congress had evacuated. They are progressively rubbing it in one day at a time, to show how powerful they are and how powerless we are.
We have all been betrayed, and we are now just seeing it.
We are free men with eyes and ears and we are pissed
Biden Inauguration, a time of unity
It’s been a complete political surrender by Republicans. Not sure how anyone can take their betrayal in any other way.
Yes, I concur, concertina wire is a definite sign of unity.
Precious words, indeed. Thanks, Rush Limbaugh.
God bless Rush but Trump won by a landslide.
Trump also had coattails everywhere but in Georgia where the cheating was so obvious. Both in the election sham and later in the special sham.
Repubs will lose massively in 2022 unless they can make a deal with dominion to save a few seats
The snakes have bread and are crawling out of the evil ooze. The light of truth will dry the up like salt on a slug.
BIDEN INAUGURATIOIN, A TIME OF UNITY
So, is it time to panic?
Repubs will lose massively in 2022 unless they can make a deal with **the Democrats and** dominion to save a few seats
God Bless and Keep this man with us through the win.
