Two Prosecutors Suspended for Describing Jan. 6 Attack as 'Mob of Rioters'
Two federal prosecutors in Washington, DC, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, were placed on leave after describing the January 6 attack as a 'mob of rioters' in a court filing while requesting a sentence for Taylor Taranto, a defendant involved in the Capitol riot who was later arrested for gun charges and threats. The prosecutors' language and the subsequent suspension highlight ongoing tensions and personnel changes within US Attorney's offices amid politically sensitive cases.
