Prosecutors Seek 14 Years for Capitol Rioter

“Federal prosecutors are seeking 14 years in federal prison for a violent Jan. 6 rioter who his lawyers say ‘idolized’ Donald Trump and thought of the former president as the ‘father figure’ he never had,” NBC News reports.

“Daniel ‘D.J.’ Rodriquez pleaded guilty in February, admitting that he battled law enforcement officers on the steps of the Capitol on Jan. 6 and tased former D.C. Metropolitan Police officer Mike Fanone in the neck before storming the building and smashing out a window.”
