Munchel and Eisenhart should stay in custody, said federal prosecutors
A week after Donald Trump acquitted of impeachment there is one more lead to the case. A federal judge on Wednesday said a Nashville man and his mother, must shut behind the bars.
According to him their release on bail can be a threat to national security. This came after Federal prosecutors said that the mother-son duo was involved in the chaos on Jan 6 insurrection. They were part of the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol to stop lawmakers from certifying the election of President Joe Biden.
Investigators identified Munchel, 30, and Eisenhart, 56 a video footage of the riot made them visible in the vision of law. Munchel was seen inside the Capitol carrying plastic handcuffs, wearing a tactical vest, with a taser holstered on his right hip and an iPhone strapped to his chest, facing outward.
The pair faces charges of obstructing an official proceeding, unlawful entry, and violent entry.
A Nashville-based magistrate judge initially said the pair should be released while they awaited trial, but that order was delayed until a hearing could take place in Washington, D.C. The pair were subsequently taken there for arraignment.
