Man arrested outside Kavanaugh's home indicted by grand jury for attempted murder

A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted Nicholas John Roske on federal charges of attempting to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. 

The 26-year-old Roske was charged with one count of attempting to murder a justice of the United States. If convicted as charged, Roske faces a maximum sentence of life in federal prison. An initial appearance has not yet been scheduled.

The one-count indictment and other court documents claim Roske intended to kill Kavanaugh when he traveled from California to Maryland. Roske arrived at Kavanaugh's Maryland residence in the early morning of June 8.
