Richard Barnett became one of the faces of the Jan. 6 riot by supporters of then-President Donald Trump, and the judge said in announcing the sentence that Barnett seemed to enjoy the notoriety.

A federal judge on Wednesday acquitted a New Mexico man of misdemeanor charges that he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol and engaged in disorderly conduct during last year's riot.

Paul Hodgkins pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing an official proceeding. He is the second person to plead guilty in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Federal investigators continue to make arrests into the insurrection at the Capitol months after the siege.

Police fatally shot the suspect they say rammed a car into a barrier and then lunged at officers with a knife. One officer was killed, and another was injured.

Some 25,000 National Guard members are in the city where insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol just two weeks ago.

More than two dozen off-duty officers attended the pro-Trump rally. Many celebrated on social media at the time. But now they could face federal charges and find themselves out of a job.

The top U.S. prosecutor for the District of Columbia cited a "disconnect" after federal prosecutors in Arizona said there was "strong evidence" that pro-Trump rioters intended to kill officials.
