"Federal Judge Condemns GOP's Distortions of Jan. 6 Attack"

Senior judge Royce Lamberth criticized attempts to "rewrite history" of the Jan. 6 Capitol assault and denounced labeling the perpetrators as "hostages," warning that such rhetoric could pose further danger to the country. Lamberth's comments came as part of a ruling tied to the sentencing of a Jan. 6 defendant convicted of misdemeanor offenses, James Little, and he expressed dismay at the distortion of facts and falsehoods surrounding the events of that day.
