U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden held a #Jan6 “rioter” in #CriminalContempt for his conduct during trial after he criticized the judge & the court system during a Tues #hearing.
McFadden, a Trump appointee who has been critical of the government’s approach in some of the Jan. 6 cases that he’s presided over, sentenced the man to 5 months in prison Tues – before jury deliberations in the trial even began.
