Richard Barnett
LITTLE ROCK (AP) – An Arkansas man arrested for sitting with his feet on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot asked a federal judge to allow him to travel for a classic-car swap meet.
Richard Barnett’s attorney, Joseph McBride of New York City, claims Barnett needs to travel to make a living.
“Mr. Barnett’s second job of buying and selling classic cars is now his primary source of income. Consequently, his ability to travel for work is crucial to his ability to pay his bills, provide for his family and fund his legal defense.”

Plea negotiations underway in some Capitol riot cases, but the magnitude of evidence has complicated efforts to secure guilty pleas By Cassidy McDonald, Robert Legare

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.
Plea offers for some accused Capitol rioters coming soon, prosecutors say
US Capitol riots: Tracking the insurrection
Replay Video UP NEXT Nearly four months into the investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection and following more than 440 arrests prosecutors are ramping up efforts to engage in plea discussions with many of those accused of joining in the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Plea offers could start going out to some accused rioters as soon as the next couple of days, prosecutors said during a court hearing Wednesday, with more likely going out next month as trial dates approach for many of those who have been charged so far.
