Justice Department offers plea deal to Capitol rioter who wore 'Camp Auschwitz' sweatshirt
CNN
The Justice Department has offered a plea deal to the US Capitol rioter who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt, prosecutors said Tuesday at a court hearing.
Robert Packer of Virginia went viral during the January 6 attack because of the brazenly anti-Semitic nature of his sweatshirt. He was arrested in January and charged with two misdemeanors. He has pleaded not guilty, but prosecutors said Tuesday that they offered him a deal to plead guilty. Prosecutors didn't provide details about the offer. But similarly situated rioters, who were only charged with low-level crimes and aren't accused of any violence, have pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor count of illegally demonstrating inside the Capitol.
