HAPPENING NOW:

Plea agreement hearing in Jan 6 case of James Little of N. Carolina

Little is accused of texting amid the mob:

"We just took over the Capital (sic).. We are stopping treason! Stealing elections is treason! We’re not going to take it anymore!”
Little's plea deal is to a misdemeanor. Unlawful picketing/parading (he joins the growing list of Jan 6 defendants cutting this deal)

0-6 months jail are the guidelines
$500 restitution. (Little just asked why he's gotta pay if he didn't cause damage)
There's a back and forth over whether to prohibit Little from possessing a firearm as he awaits sentencing. Defense says Little lives in the country... in the Piedmont area of N. Carolina and once had to shoot a wild animal attacking his dog
Feds want to keep firearms restriction in place. Making a broader argument about the attack by the mob on Jan 6

Judge won't lift restriction today. But will review request
