A former Trump State Department appointee was sentenced Friday to nearly six years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
A former Trump administration State Department appointee was sentenced Friday to 5 years and 10 months in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
"Your actions on January 6th were shocking and egregious," Judge Trevor McFadden told the Trump administration appointee before handing down his sentence.His defense attorney Stanley Woodward said a significantly lower sentence was warranted, arguing that longer sentences were not convincing to Jan. 6 defendants.
Woodward argued prosecutors were going after his client too aggressively because of his status as a former political appointee. Judge McFadden's sentence was ultimately well below the 10 years the government sought.
