An associate of the far-right Three Percenters militia has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison after joining a mob of former Trump supporters to storm the US Capitol and threatening to harm his children if they told the FBI.
US District Judge Dabney Friedrich on Monday issued a prison sentence of seven years and three months
Judge Friedrich also banned Reffitt from associating with militia groups and ordered him to undergo mental health treatment. Judge Friedrich declined to apply a domestic terrorism enhancement to her sentence — the first requested in a January 6 case — even though the lead federal prosecutor and a former Capitol police officer who provided a victim impact statement both said they believed Reffitt committed an act of terrorism that day.
