Court appearance in one hour in Jan 6 case of former Trump Administration appointee Federico Klein

This is a higher-level case. Standby
Arraignment is underway for Klein & several co-defendants for charges in superseding indictment. One by one, defendants are entering NOT GUILTY pleas to multiple assault charges, obstruction

Prosecutor has already voiced concern about Klein's adherence to release conditions
Klein's defense lawyer is arguing to court that Klein has been denied permission to go for jogs, run errands or go to activities at church (deemed "social activities") during his release pending trial

Klein is accused of violating some pretrial release conditions/instructions
A court pretrial service officer says the former Trump appointee consumed alcohol at his mother's residence earlier this year.. "which prevented him from abiding by his set curfew"
Judge: "If it comes to sentencing in this case..... you're starting off behind the eight-ball with me"

Judge says he'd take Klein's pretrial release conduct into consideration
