Josiah Colt, 34, later bragged that he'd sat in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reserved seat, which is actually located in the House chamber.
Federal prosecutors announced Wednesday that they have reached a plea deal with Josiah Colt, a 34-year-old rioter from Ohio who breached the U.S. Capitol and rappelled into the Senate chamber during the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection. Colt pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of an official proceeding. His deal requires that he cooperate with the government on other investigations. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas F. Hogan read Colt his rights and said federal guidelines call for a sentence ranging between 51 and 63 months. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Colt’s sentence will be announced at a later date.More Related News
