We have a status hearing starting now for former Special Forces soldier Jeffrey McKellop. He's on the line, irate, with his attorney. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
The DOJ says a plea offer remains pending in the case, but they have not had further conversations with McKellop's attorney about that. DOJ is asking for another status hearing in 30 days.
McKellop has asked Judge Carl Nichols to reconsider his detention status. DOJ says they oppose that, and also that he can't meet the conditions required to reopen a detention hearing anyway.
DOJ says if there was a new bond hearing they would likely ask the officers McKellop is charged with assaulting if they would like to speak, which they would be allowed to do so under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. Judge Nichols wants a written response from the DOJ.
Short hearing. Jeffrey McKellop will be back in court on October 25 at 3 p.m. He's requested the hearing be in person, as relatives will be flying in from California to attend it.

BREAKING: In an apparent first, the DOJ says it will GO TO TRIAL on the newly narrowed Jan. 6 obstruction count.

Federal prosecutors say they believe their case against an Ohio couple can hold up even after the Supreme Court's ruling. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
The DOJ says it will prove Donald & Shawndale Chilcoat intended to obstruct Congress and "critically, they were aware that his proceeding involved records, documents, or other things — specifically the electoral votes that Congress was to consider." wusa9.com/article/news/n…
It's unclear whether Judge Kollar-Kotelly will agree the DOJ's evidence is enough to sustain the charge, or if it will hold up on review before the D.C. Circuit.

But, the DOJ's outline does align closely with how Justice Jackson said it *might* be done. wusa9.com/article/news/n…

NEW: I spoke with anti-abortion activist Lauren Handy's attorney about the plans for appeal as she begins serving her 4-year sentence.

They're aiming for acquittal, sure, but also something bigger: A long-awaited chance to get the FACE act before SCOTUS. wusa9.com/article/news/c…
Attorneys from the anti-abortion law firm the Thomas More Society hope Handy's case — plus two others in Tennessee and Michigan — will convince SCOTUS to do something it's never done before: hear an appeal on the constitutionality of the FACE Act. wusa9.com/article/news/c…
The FACE Act is the 1994 law that protects access to clinic and church entrances and makes it a federal felony to use force or obstruction to injure, interfere with or intimidate a person attempting to access reproductive health services. wusa9.com/article/news/c…

🚨 SENTENCE: Marine Corps veteran Ryan Nichols sentenced to 63 months (5.25) years in prison and what is, I believe, the largest fine in a Jan. 6 case to date — $200,000 — for assaulting police during the Capitol riot.
wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Explaining the fine:

1. Judge Lamberth said Nichols didn't cooperate at all w/ the financial portion of the presentencing investigation.

2. Nichols raised more than $230,000 on a GiveSendGo account titled "Free My Patriot Prisoner." Image
Judge Lamberth seemed impressed by the mountain of letters and videos of support submitted on Nichols' behalf, particularly one from his father.

But he also said he had doubts re: Nichols' remorse because of statements made throughout his case. wusa9.com/article/news/n…

A bit of drama in the dockets of brothers and Jan. 6 defendants Matthew and Gregory Purdy. Last year, they and their co-defendant, Robert Turner, all decided to fire their lawyers and be represented by a single, new attorney. Judge Lamberth was skeptical but allowed it... Image
Then, last month, the new attorney asked for a continuance of their April 22 trial date — noting, among other reasons, that she had applied for a judgeship in Alabama. I was not at the hearing but Judge Lamberth was, I gather, not impressed. Motion denied.
Cut to last week, when two of the defendants — having, it seems, decided Judge Lamberth is now ill-disposed toward their counsel — fired the new attorney and got newer attorneys.

Now those attorneys, w/ less than a month left to go before trial, are seeking continuances. Image

Former Trump WH trade adviser Peter Navarro's sentencing hearing is set to begin shortly. DOJ is seeking 6 months in jail for Navarro defying a subpoena from the January 6th Committee. google.com/amp/s/www.wusa…
Like most, Peter Navarro's sentencing hearing begins with arguments over enhancements and credits. Navarro wants 2 levels of credit for acceptance of responsibility. Judge Mehta seems dubious.

Mehta: “I haven’t heard a word of contrition from Dr. Navarro since this case began.”
Navarro's attorney, Stanley Woodward, says Navarro wasn't playing "smoke and mirrors" with the January 6th Committee but was only doing what he thought he had to as a former WH adviser. He says he only went to trial to preserve a constitutional argument. Judge Mehta disagrees.

Rudy Giuliani's civil trial resumes this morning at 9:15 with more of the plaintiffs' case.
The plaintiffs are showing a video deposition w/ Mary Frances Watson, a former police lieutenant who was the chief investigator for the Georgia Secretary of State's Investigations Division during the 2020 election.
Watson says she reviewed footage from State Farm Arena where Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss were working. She says it shows "election workers doing their normal process.

Q: "So it doesn’t show hidden suitcases of ballots?”

Watson: “No.”
