WASHINGTON — EDITOR'S NOTE: This story is no longer actively being updated. You can read the recap of day 1 here.
A new blog will begin on day two of the trial.
A man who was arrested last January after his son alerted authorities of his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection will be the first Capitol Riots defendant out of about 750 arrested to go to trial Monday.
According to prosecutors, 49-year-old Guy Wesley Reffitt is an alleged member of the anti-government Three Percenters movement. Prosecutors plan to tell jurors that on Jan. 6, he came to D.C. with the intent of dragging members of Congress out of the Capitol "by their ankles."
Three U.S. Capitol Police Officers are expected to testify that it took them multiple rounds of less-than-lethal munitions to stop him from doing so.
Reffitt's 19-year-old son, Jackson Reffitt, is also expected to testify.
Reffitt faces five felony counts, including bringing a handgun with him onto the Capitol terrace.
