US Capitol rioter who took selfie in Senate chamber pleads guilty

Paul Allard Hodgkins is the second to plead guilty so far, admitting he was on the Senate floor during the riot.

A Florida man on Wednesday became the second person so far to plead guilty for his role in storming the US Capitol on January 6, after he entered the US Senate chamber in a Trump T-shirt and waving a red flag that said “Trump 2020”. Paul Allard Hodgkins pleaded guilty in a virtual hearing to one count of obstructing an official proceeding in the US District Court in Washington, DC. “I have decided that I will accept this plea offer, and I will plead guilty,” Hodgkins told the judge.
