Brandon Fellows, convicted for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, compared himself to Elon Musk and Brett Kavanaugh during his trial. He was filmed smoking a joint on Senator Jeff Merkley's desk during the riots and insisted that rioters had the right to overthrow the government. Fellows, who has been in custody since June 2021, was sentenced to five months in jail. The Justice Department has charged over 1,100 people and sentenced at least 597 in relation to the Jan. 6 events.
