Couy Griffin, a New Mexico county commissioner, ardent election-fraud conspiracy theorist and founder of "Cowboys for Trump," avoided more jail time on Friday for his role in the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
He was sentenced to 14 days with time served, fined $3,000 and given one year supervised release with the requirement that he complete 60 hours of community service.
Griffin was videotaped at the Capitol saying he "has Mike Pence in our prayers" and hoped that Pence would "do the right thing" and argued during his trial that he was peaceful on January 6 and even calmed a group of rioters by leading them in prayer.
