I know it has been talked about in the other thread a lot, but for the ones who just want to follow the ones arrested and/or charged, this will be an easier way to see updates on the investigations.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana business owner and supporter of former President Donald Trump has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that interrupted certification of the 2020 Electoral College vote.

Henry Phillip “Hank” Muntzer, 55, of Dillon was also sentenced Thursday to a year of supervised release and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution.

Muntzer was arrested two weeks after the siege based on social media posts and videos taken inside the Capitol, according to court records.

He was found guilty in February of obstructing an official proceeding and civil disorder, both felonies, following a bench trial before U.S. District Court Judge Jia M. Cobb. Muntzer was also found guilty of four misdemeanor charges. However, the charge of obstructing an official proceeding was dismissed before sentencing because a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June made it more difficult to prosecute that charge.……

A divided federal appeals court panel has upheld a trespassing charge that prosecutors have leveled against more than 1,400 people who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The ruling on Tuesday from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a claim by Jan. 6 defendant Couy Griffin that the government needed to prove he was aware that the Capitol grounds were restricted because a Secret Service protectee, then-Vice President Mike Pence, was inside. Without that proof, Griffin contended, prosecutors fell short of showing that he “knowingly” breached the Secret Service-protected perimeter.

But in the 2-1 ruling, Judges Cornelia Pillard and Judith Rogers — Obama and Clinton appointees, respectively — concluded the trespassing law at issue was passed to boost security for Secret Service protectees. Requiring prosecutors to prove that the trespassers were aware of a Secret Service protectee’s presence would be illogical and “impair the Secret Service’s ability to protect its charges.”

“The government was not required to prove that Griffin was aware that the Vice President’s presence was the reason the grounds remained restricted,” Pillard wrote, joined by Rogers. “A person trespassing on grounds he knows are restricted, where he knows he lacks permission to be, may be convicted of a federal misdemeanor trespass … even if he does not know that a Secret Service protectee is within.”

The judges pointed to the history of the law, which was passed in 1971 in response to political assassinations that included John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert, as evidence “that Congress intended the statute to cover all knowing trespasses” into areas protected by the Secret Service..............

An Ohio man was arrested Tuesday on charges that he brought a massive “Trump” sign to the U.S. Capitol and joined other rioters in using it as a weapon against police officers during a mob attack.

Jeffrey Newcomb, 41, of Polk, Ohio, apparently posted on social media that he brought the custom-made, metal-framed sign to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, “because bullets are expensive,” according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. The sign was approximately 8 feet tall and 10 feet wide, with wheels the size of a person’s head, the affidavit says.

In March 2023, a message posted on a Twitter account linked to Newcomb included photos of the sign in the crowd of Donald Trump supporters who gathered outside the Capitol on Jan. 6. In one photo, the account’s user obscured his face with an emoji.

“Went to Jan 6th to peacefully protest in the loudest way possible: With a 13 ft by 10 ft signs on custom made aluminum wagon. I spent $700 on this. Keeping my identity a secret because bullets are expensive,” the post said.……

A former voice actor on the cartoon comedy "Bob's Burgers" who was convicted of a felony for his participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Monday to one year and one day in prison.

Jay Johnston, 56, pleaded guilty in July to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement officers after videos showed him helping rioters push against a police line during one of the most violent exchanges between police and the pro-Trump mob that day at the Lower West Terrace tunnel.

Prosecutors sought 18 months in prison for Johnston, citing in large part what they described as his clear lack of remorse and avoidance of accepting responsibility for his actions that day.……

Even on Election Day 2024, the consequences of Donald Trump supporters rioting after the 2020 election are still playing out — with a man who was at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and then participated in an anti-government group sentenced to probation on Tuesday.

The case, when Fi Duong of Northern Virginia was first arrested, was one of the most startling reminders of the potential danger that law enforcement was tracking among extremists after the Capitol attack.

Duong ultimately pleaded guilty to a civil disorder felony for his entry into the building, which he filmed while wearing all-black clothing and a mask.

After the attack, Duong hosted meetings at his house with others who discussed seceding from the US, assembling Molotov cocktails and surveilling the Capitol, prosecutors said, citing an undercover agent who also attended the meetings. He ultimately didn’t face any charges related to that group.

“His participation in the January 6 riot was a betrayal of his oath as a Marine, and his failure to understand his conduct as participation in American domestic extremism is highly concerning,” prosecutors wrote to the judge before the sentencing.

Judge Paul Friedman of the DC District Court, which has sentenced hundreds of January 6 rioters, told Duong at the court hearing Tuesday morning he believed he wouldn’t commit a crime again.

“This is an event in your history. Now you have a felony conviction for the rest of your life,” Friedman said. “I want to wish you very good luck in the years ahead.”

Duong will serve 36 months on probation, pay $2,000 in restitution toward the Capitol and work 50 hours of community service, the judge ordered.

He didn’t receive jail time because he had abided by the court’s orders as he awaited sentencing for about three-and-a-half years, essentially under house arrest, Friedman added........
