DOJ seeks toughest Jan. 6 sentence yet for ex-MMA fighter who punched cop
Scott Fairlamb, a Trump supporter who was filmed punching a police officer in the head, pleaded guilty to two charges in August. The Department of Justice is now seeking the toughest sentence yet for his involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot.
This case highlights the ongoing efforts to hold individuals accountable for their actions during the insurrection. The DOJ's push for a harsh sentence sends a strong message that violence against law enforcement will not be tolerated.
