A Missouri man who pleaded guilty to entering the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, will be allowed to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next month, a federal judge ordered Thursday. Judge Tanya Chutkan granted Eric Peterson permission to travel to Washington, DC, for the inauguration, citing the short duration of his presence at the Capitol and the lack of any allegations involving assault or vandalism.
A Missouri man who pleaded guilty to entering the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, will be allowed to attend President-elect Donald Trump ’s inauguration next month, a federal judge ordered Thursday. Judge Tanya Chutkan, who oversaw the federal election subversion case against Trump, also authorized Eric Peterson , who pleaded guilty this fall to “entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds” during the riot, to travel more broadly within the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Peterson’s attorney, Michael Bullotta, highlighted the short length of time in a filing earlier this week, adding that his client “was not alleged to have done anything related to assault or vandalism” and that Peterson’s offense “was entering and remaining in the Capitol for about 8 minutes without proper authorization.” The attorney also noted that Peterson is a military veteran without prior criminal history.
