A day after police officers told a House panel in riveting detail about the vicious assaults they faced during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, federal authorities on Wednesday charged a Brooklyn plumber himself a former candidate for office with being in the angry mob.
The plumber, Daniel Christmann, attracted scrutiny after posting images online that showed him inside the Capitol and telling associates he had stormed the halls of Congress and had been “scaling walls,” according to court documents.

Fascist Trump foot soldier receives slap on the wrist in sentencing for January 6 coup
In the first felony sentencing hearing related to Donald Trump’s attempted coup on January 6, US District Judge Randolph Moss, an appointee of President Barack Obama, sentenced Paul A. Hodgkins, 38, to eight months in prison after he pled guilty to a single count of obstructing an official proceeding.
The sentence is less than half of the 15–21 months recommended by federal prosecutors and a mere fraction of the 20-year maximum allowable under the law. As part of Hodgkins’ guilty plea last month, prosecutors agreed to drop four misdemeanor counts of trespassing and disorderly conduct. He had previously been released on bail after posting a $25,000 bond.
