Former Trump admininistion official charged with assaulting officer at January 6th Capitol riot

Little Rock, March 6 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Virginia, federal agents have arrested former Trump administration official Federico Klein, charging him with assaulting a police officer with a dangerous weapon during the January 6 attack. 

Klein worked on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and served as special assistant in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs at the State Department.  He’s also a former U.S. marine who was deployed in Iraq.  This comes as federal agents are probing communications between pro-Trump insurrectionists and members of Congress or their staffers. 

On Thursday, the U.S. Capitol Police requested a 60-day extension of the National Guard’s mission helping to protect Congress.  If approved, as many as 2,200 troops could remain on Capitol Hill into May.

In other news, in the U.S. state of Arkansas, the man photographed with his feet propped on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk during the January 6th assault on the Capitol shouted at a federal judge Thursday that it was “not fair” that he was being held in jail ahead of his trial. 

Richard Barnett has pleaded not guilty to felony charges — including obstruction of Congress and disorderly conduct in a restricted building with a dangerous weapon.
