The lawyer of a Florida man who was photographed carrying the lectern of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during last week s U.S. Capitol insurrection is struggling to explain the photo when defending his client.
Adam Johnson was arrested on a federal warrant Friday and charged with theft of government property, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. Johnson was released on a $25,000 signature bond on Monday and is being represented by attorneys David Bigney and Dan Eckhart, who appeared to struggle to defend the photo of Johnson while speaking to the media outside a federal courthouse in Tampa.
