Bryan Roger Bishop, 51, and his wife Tonya, 47, have just been arrested. On August 7, the FBI picked them up on their boat, where they lived in the Keys archipelago at the southern tip of Florida, more than 1800 kilometers from Washington. The couple are accused of having participated in the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Madame was photographed several times in the enclosure. Her husband was caught on camera spraying the faces of two police officers with an irritating liquid. According to the indictment, an officer was totally blinded and had to be escorted out of the crowd of protesters by a colleague. Nearly 140 police officers were injured that day.
Donald Trump had promised on his Twitter account a “wild day” by calling on his supporters to converge on the Capitol. He will have to answer for his actions and lies about the stolen election that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith says encouraged the attack. His resounding trial will open on March 4. So decided on Monday Judge Tanya S. Chutkan. Pointing to the volume of the indictment, the former president’s lawyers wanted to postpone the debates until April 2026, i.e. after the November 2024 presidential election for which their client is one of the favorites. This trial will be the first that Donald Trump will have to undergo next year. It will begin on the eve of the decisive “Super Tuesday” (super Tuesday), when several states will vote for the Republican primary.
