Christopher M. Kelly's case dismissal was announced Wednesday, coinciding with a guilty plea by a Florida man who carried a Trump 2020 flag into the Capitol during the January 6 riot.
Prosecutor Mona Sedky said Hodgkins knew he wasn't supposed to be in the Capitol and acted with intent to corruptly influence a government proceeding.
Hodgkins, who has no prior convictions, faces 15 to 21 months in prison under the sentencing guidelines. His sentencing was set for July 19.
