Capitol rioters claim Trump tricked them, face prison sentences.
Anthony Puma, a vehicle technician from Michigan, has been sentenced to nine months in federal prison after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice for his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Puma claimed he was tricked by former President Donald Trump and manipulated into storming the Capitol. He had called for violence and civil unrest in social media posts and said he planned to travel to the Capitol in hopes of securing a second term for Trump. Prosecutors had sought an 18-month sentence, but Puma received nine months.
