WASHINGTON, D.C. â A Florida man who breached the U.S. Senate chamber carrying a Trump campaign flag has received an eight-month prison term, the first resolution for a felony case in the Capitol insurrection.
Paul Allard Hodgkins pleaded guilty last month to one count of obstructing an official proceeding and apologized Monday, saying he made a âfoolish decision.â
Hodgkins hearing in Washington will likely set a benchmark for punishment in similar cases â those who stand accused of participating in the riot and breaching the building, but not the organization of the conspiracy.
