Judge Lamberth Criticizes Attempts to Rewrite Jan. 6 Attack History

The Reagan-appointed judge warns that misinformation about the Capitol attack could pose an ongoing danger to the nation.

Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, has criticized public figures for attempting to downplay and rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Lamberth has warned that the misinformation spread by political leaders could pose an ongoing danger to the nation.
The judge's comments came during the resentencing of James Little, a Jan. 6 defendant, whose sentence was increased due to a lack of remorse.
Lamberth has presided over many high-profile Jan. 6 cases and has used his filings to counter misrepresentations about the attack.
More than 1,260 people have been charged with crimes connected to the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol.
