Derrick Evans only served as a West Virginia state legislator for 40 days, but will spend 90 days in jail for his role in the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot.
Perhaps one of the more prominent defendants charged so far in the Justice Department's sprawling Capitol riot investigation, Evans faced more serious charges than most other defendants because "he was a leader in this riot. He was a leader on the ground, he was a leader on social media, and he was a leader in his state," prosecutor Kathryn Fifield said Wednesday in DC District Court.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
