JUST IN: Jacob CHANSLEY has filed a motion (via attorney @shipwreckedcrew ) to vacate his sentence and seek discovery about his access to CCTV footage prior to his sentencing.

Filing accuses his previous attorney of ineffective assistance. ImageImage
The crux is: Prosecutors need to better explain the timing of Chansley’s access to relevant CCTV footage. Chansley’s previous lawyer shouldn’t have let him plead to the most serious charge he faced and stipulate to sentencing enhancements that doubled his potential sentence. Image

NEWS: VP Mike PENCE just emerged from an appearance before the grand jury investigating Donald Trump’s bid to subvert the 2020 election.

Extraordinary moment at the federal courthouse in DC today.

politico.com/news/2023/04/2…
Though Pence wasn’t seen entering or exiting the courthouse, it was clear something big was happening — heightened security was noticeable everywhere, particularly near the grand jury spaces. politico.com/news/2023/04/2…
Pence’s appearance came just hours after an appeals court rejected Donald Trump’s emergency bid to block or limit Pence’s testimony.

HAPPENING NOW: Enrique TARRIO's attorney Nayib Hasan is set to deliver his closing argument. During the opener, Tarrio's other lawyer, Sabino Jauregui, leaned into the idea that Trump was far more culpable for Jan. 6 than the Proud Boys.
And HASAN picks up with that esact point: He points out that Trump said people shoudl "fight like hell" at 12:17pm on Jan. 6. Within 36 minutes, the barricades were breached at the Capitol.
HASAN: "It was Donald Trump’s words. It was his motivation. It was his anger that caused what occurred on January 6th in your amazing and beautiful city."

"It was not Enrique Tarrio. They want to use Enriqeu Tarrio as a scapegoat for Donald Trump and those in power."

HAPPENING NOW: Pezzola is back on the stand and should face cross-examination by around 11 am, one of the most significant moments of long, arduous trial.

Here's how he described his decision to take a riot shield and smash his way into the Capitol.

politico.com/news/2023/04/1…
PEZZOLA admitrs to lying to the FBI during a second interview with them, something he tells jurors today he did because he thought it would help alleviate his conditions of incarceration.
The lie PEZZOLA told: That when Jan.6 rioter Ryan Samsel had his arm around Joe Biggs, Biggs told Samsel he had a gun and urged him to charge the barricades (which Samsel later did).

Pezzola admits it was a total "fabrication."
