“On January 6, 2021, thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol while a joint session of Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election,” they wrote. “Taranto was accused of participating in the riot in Washington, D.C., by entering the U.S. Capitol Building.”
.
“After the riot, Taranto returned to his home in the State of Washington, where he promoted conspiracy theories about the events of January 6, 2021,” the prosecutors added.
.
Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host turned U.S. attorney for D.C., signed off on the sentencing memo.
.
However, Wednesday morning, just hours after they filed the memo, Valdivia and White were placed on leave. The unexpected move was initiated by White House officials, according to MSNBC."
.
Valdivia and White being placed on leave is the latest example of the Trump White House dictating personnel changes within the DOJ — a break from the department’s longstanding independence from the president. It’s also part of the administration’s campaign to wipe the memory of the Jan 6. attacks from the historical record."
