Daniel Rodriguez’s court hearing is now underway. The Capitol defendant, a regular at pro-Trump protests in California before the Capitol attack, was filmed electroshocking D.C. Police Officer Mike Fanone when he Fanone was seized by the mob on 1/6. #TaserPrick #SeditionHunters

Judge Amy Berman Jackson notes that it “took awhile” to get Rodriguez to D.C. after his arrest in late March, but he got here on June 10. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-j…

Here’s our first story on Daniel Rodriguez, a month before his arrest: huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly Paschall says she learned today that there's at least 250 terabytes of data across all Jan. 6 cases.

Paschall says DOJ has turned over more than 100 body worn camera videos to the defense.

Paschall tells Judge Amy Berman Jackson she’s not sure at this time whether a plea offer will be extended, but will have those discussions. Jackson notes that plea offers are normally extended in even extremely serious cases. Paschall reaffirms she’ll try to get an answer.

One of Rodriguez’s federal public defenders, based in Las Vegas, says they want to set a trial date. Says Rodriguez is anxious to go to trial quickly because he’s being held in custody.

Judge Jackson notes there’s no motion before her for a bond review.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson says the Daniel Rodriguez case needs priority. Next status conference will be set for the end of August. If there’s no plea offer and no interest in a plea, they’ll start talking about scheduling a trial.

An August 31 status hearing is on the books. Afternoon hearing (because federal public defenders are in Nevada).

Federal public defender Paul Riddle notes that Rodriguez is being held about two hours away from D.C. (and not in D.C. jail, like many Jan. 6 defendants). That might change if it goes to trial.
