The government has moved to block Capitol riot defendant Anthime Gionet — an alt-right internet provocateur known as "Baked Alaska" — from posting videos online after they say he live-streamed himself calling police and threatening his friend.
Federal prosecutors said the streaming video was used to raise money, which Gionet's attorney acknowledged. In a Wednesday filing, prosecutors asked the court to modify his conditions of release to put him on house arrest, require him to report every contact with law enforcement, ban him from possessing firearms and ban him from posting videos online. The request was prompted by a report from Pretrial Services, which manages defendants who are released before trial and which alerted the court to the video. A status hearing in the case is scheduled for today at 4 p.m.More Related News
