The government has indicated that it will object to Danny Rodriguez trying to argue at trial that he electroshocked D.C. Officer Mike Fanone on Jan. 6 on behalf of former President Trump.

Danny Rodriguez’s Miranda acknowledgement:
"The defendant never requested a lawyer. The defendant never invoked his right to remain
