A North Carolina man pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement during the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. David Paul Daniel, 37, of Mint Hill, pleaded guilty to a felony offense of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers. But the ‘law and order’ guy pardoned him, along with the more than 1,500 other insurrectionists.
Daniel is now arguing that his indictment on charges of producing and possessing child pornography is null because images were found during an investigation into his role at the riot at the Capitol.
The News & Observer reports:
The office of U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson, however, is opposed to dismissing the charges, a court record said.
Investigators in Washington “allegedly observed images of a nude minor female, drug paraphernalia, and firearms” after they seized David Paul Daniel’s phone and computer in November 2023, according to a motion Daniel’s attorney filed in federal court Wednesday.
