A judge's son who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, while clad in fur, wearing a stolen police vest and carrying a police shield pleads guilty to three counts.
The Trump supporter told a friend that "fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election was so obvious, even a caveman would know the election was stolen," a court document said.
Aaron Mostofsky, a 35-year-old from Brooklyn, New York, pleaded guilty to one felony count of civil disorder, one count of theft of government property and one count of entering and remaining in a restricted building. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg accepted Mostofsky's guilty plea and set a sentencing hearing for May.
In a statement of offense, Mostofsky admitted he traveled to Washington, D.C., by bus and was"dressed as a caveman and carrying a walking stick or rod" when he entered the Capitol.
