“A jury found former Capitol police officer Michael Riley guilty Friday of obstructing the investigation into the January 6, 2021, attack on the building he was once sworn to protect, handing the Justice Department a victory in a unique and high-profile prosecution stemming from the insurrection,” Insider reports.
“The verdict came a year after Riley’s indictment on charges he advised a Capitol rioter to delete social media posts placing him within the pro-Trump mob that besieged the Capitol to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election results.”
