Jan. 6 Rioter Seeks Court Approval to Attend Trump's Inauguration

Republican lawmakers have invited Russell Taylor, a participant in the January 6 Capitol riot, to attend Donald Trump's second inauguration. Taylor, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, is on probation and requires court permission to travel. The invitation highlights a shift in political dynamics, with some Republicans focusing on investigating those who probed the January 6 attack rather than the perpetrators. Taylor's lawyer argues he poses no risk, citing his remorse and compliance with court orders.
