Jan. 6 Lawyer Says It’s Time for D.C. Jail Protesters to Go Home
Almost every night, about 15 blocks east of the U.S. Capitol Building, Donald Trump-loving protesters gather in front of a D.C. jail and hold a demonstration on behalf of the Jan. 6 defendants who are locked up inside.
But after a year of holding basically the same protest every night, in a spot now referred to as the “Freedom Corner,” one notorious lawyer who vocally supports Trump and has represented a number of Jan. 6 defendants says enough is enough—both for practical reasons and legal ones.
“It feels to me like it’s reached its natural conclusion,” prominent Jan. 6 lawyer and outspoken Trump supporter Joseph McBride told The Daily Beast during a phone interview on Tuesday.
