Capitol Breach Suspect Who Violated Terms of Pre-Trial Release Won’t Be Jailed: Judge
A Utah man facing charges in the Capitol breach incident will not be sent back to jail despite having violated the terms of his pre-trial release orders, a judge ruled Monday.
While John Sullivan violated a release order by buying a smartphone, attempting to access Twitter, and trying to promote his organization, Insurgence USA, in an interview on Infowars, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather declined to send him back to prison, according to Buzzfeed News.
Meriweather expressed concerns that Sullivan violated the order but said she didn’t believe he poses a danger to the community, according to the report. She cautioned that if Sullivan continued to violate court orders, he may be jailed ahead of his trial, but said that, “I don’t believe we are there yet in this case.”
John Sullivan made his first appearance in federal court on Friday on charges he took part in a pro-Trump riot timed to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden as the nation’s next president. “He thrives on chaos,” federal prosecutor Bryan N. Reeves told a judge, arguing that the 26-year-old provocateur should remain behind bars while his case works its way through court.
“Activist John” identifies not as a Trump supporter but a militant Black activist and citizen journalist. But he attracted the attention of the FBI when a video of the riot he posted online included recordings of him cajoling police officers to abandon their posts and exhorting trespassers roaming the hallways to “burn this shit down.”
