"Former Republican Candidate Pleads Guilty to Assaulting Officer in Capitol Riot"

Former Republican legislative candidate Matthew Brackley pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement officers during the January 6 Capitol insurrection, where he entered the building and pushed past police officers. He will be sentenced in May and faces a maximum penalty of eight years in prison. Brackley's defense lawyer stated that his client has accepted full responsibility for his actions, which he deeply regrets. The violent storming of the Capitol delayed the certification of Joe Biden's victory and led to several deaths among police, with former President Trump facing a related federal criminal case.
