Plea discussions have begun for some of the more than 400 defendants facing charges in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack, but in some cases, the sheer magnitude of the investigation is complicating efforts to move forward with cases and secure plea deals.
In a Wednesday hearing for Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, an Army Reservist and alleged Nazi sympathizer accused of obstructing law enforcement, his attorney argued that as they awaited a tentative plea offer from the government, they had yet to receive access to enough evidence from the case in order to make a decision about whether to plead guilty.
