'Capitol Rioter 'The Donald' Sentenced to Over 6 Years in Prison for Assaulting Officers'

TL;DR Summary
A Trump supporter, Jose Padilla, has been sentenced to 6½ years in federal prison for engaging in a battle with law enforcement officers at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and boasting about it on the pro-Trump forum "The Donald." Padilla, a disabled Army veteran, was convicted on 10 counts and will receive credit for time served in pretrial custody. Prosecutors sought a sentence of just over 14 years, but the judge gave a sentence well below the guidelines range, considering Padilla's remorse expressed during the hearing.
