Quite a few hearings here in the 10 a.m. hour. I'll be listening to a motion hearing for Guy Reffitt, the Texas Three Percenter accused of threatening to harm his family if they talked to authorities after the #CapitolRiot. @wusa9 @EricFlackTV
Getting started in Judge Friedrich's courtroom. Guy Reffitt is being arraigned on the new superseding indictment against him. Also two motions to consider, including the government's motion to vacate Reffitt's November trial date.
There's also a motion from Guy Reffitt asking for a change of venue out of D.C. to Texas. Reffitt is arguing, as other #CapitolRiot defendants have, that D.C. is to prejudicial against conservatives/Trump supporters. Every judge who's heard this argument so far has rejected it.

Ok, now at 12:30, Three Percenter Alan Hostetter is set to ask Judge Lamberth to allow him to represent himself. Hostetter is under indictment on four counts, including felony counts of conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding. More: wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Worth pointing out that earlier this week, another #CapitolRiot defendant, Brandon Fellows, attempted to represent himself in court and wound up admitting to two new felonies. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Judge Lamberth tells Alan Hostetter that in 2020 he had two defendants represent themselves pro se. Both of them were convicted at trial and were sentenced to decades in prison. Another defendant who tried to represent themselves broke down when a friend was called as a witness.

OK, we're getting started in Judge Mehta's virtual courtroom with a status hearing for 16 Oath Keepers. Four of their co-defendants have already taken pleas. Mehta is still considering a motion to dismiss the obstruction charge they all face. #CapitolRiot @wusa9 @EricFlackTV
Here's my story from last month about the Oath Keepers' arguments as to why their obstruction charge, the most serious felony they face, should be tossed. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Judge Mehta is pushing the DOJ on where they're at in discovery: "5%? 10%? 50%?" DOJ attorney says she can't say.

Getting started this morning with a plea hearing for Brian McCreary, of Massachusetts (red arrow below) before Chief Judge Beryl Howell. He's under indictment on 5 counts, including a felony count of obstruction. #CapitolRiot @wusa9 @EricFlackTV
Brian McCreary will be pleading guilty to one Class "A" misdemeanor count of entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds. As @ZoeTillman points out: He's the latest #CapitolRiot defendant indicted on a felony count who is pleading to a misdemeanor only.
Chief Judge Howell is going over the statement of offense now for Brian McCreary.

"You followed the mob? You followed the people being destructive?" Howell asks.
