A Jan. 6 defendant caught on camera using a bullhorn to urge fellow pro-Trump rioters to steal law enforcement officers’ guns took a secret plea deal and was sentenced to 2½ years in prison this year, the Justice Department and his legal team acknowledged for the first time in a filing unsealed Monday.
Samuel Lazar, a pro-Trump rioter, also shot at a line of officers with pepper spray on Jan. 6, 2021, the government said.
