These charges include \u2063six counts related \u200dto assaulting, impeding, or resisting Capitol police officers, \u2062as reported by the Washington Post. Klein is scheduled to be sentenced on November 3.<\/p>\n<h3>Co-Defendant Steven Cappuccio Also Convicted<\/h3>\n<p>Judge McFadden also convicted Steven Cappuccio, a co-defendant of Klein, who was among nine individuals \u2062charged \u2064with violent crimes during the Capitol insurrection. Cappuccio is expected\u2062 to be sentenced in October and is \u2063accused\u200d of ripping the \u2063mask off police officer Daniel Hodges, \u200dwho testified\u2064 against another rioter charged\u2063 with\u2063 assaulting him.\u2062 The rioter \u2063was subsequently \u200dsentenced to seven years\u2063 in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Klein, who\u200b initially worked as \u2062an aide for Trump&#8217;s 2016 campaign, later served as a special assistant in the Office of Brazilian and \u2062Southern\u200d Cone Affairs in 2017. He resigned from his role one day before President Joe Biden&#8217;s inauguration, according\u200b to a ProPublic database.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 FBI arrested Klein in March 2021, making him the first Trump appointee to be charged in a Capitol breach case. An indictment from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia stated\u200c that Klein &#8220;willfully and\u200d knowingly\u200c engaged\u2063 in an act of physical violence within the United\u2064 States Capitol Grounds and\u2063 any\u2063 of the Capitol Buildings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors revealed that Klein was \u200damong the initial rioters \u2062to enter the\u2062 Capitol tunnel and \u2064attempt to breach the door. A\u2062 motion from 2021, \u2064denying Klein&#8217;s \u200cplea to revoke the order of detention, stated, &#8220;Klein placed himself in the\u2063 thick\u2063 of the violence aimed at\u2064 breaking through\u2063 the \u2062center doorway of the \u200bLower West Terrace to gain entrance to the Capitol Building.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Klein&#8217;s attorneys have argued for his\u2063 case to\u200b be separated from the other defendants, claiming that his\u200d alleged\u2062 offenses \u200care less severe compared to those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-sends-out-jury-admonishes-witness-in-george-floyd-case\/\" title=\"Judge Sends Out Jury, Admonishes Witness In George Floyd Case\">standing trial<\/a> with him, who &#8220;engaged in far more threatening and intentional conduct.&#8221; Judge McFadden allowed Klein to remain on \u200bhouse\u2063 arrest until his sentencing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr.\u2064 Klein is\u2063 not \u200dalleged to \u2062have injured anyone, and the government concedes his &#8216;assault&#8217; of a law enforcement officer amounts to his having been in \u2063possession of a \u200criot shield that also came \u2062into contact \u200dwith \u2062a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-did-best-they-could-with-cocaine-probe-despite-no-suspects-john-kirby\/\" title=\"White House's Cocaine Probe: No Suspects, But 'Best Efforts' Made\">law enforcement\u2063 officer<\/a>,&#8221; stated Stanley \u2063Woodward, Klein&#8217;s lawyer, \u2064in a court filing from 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federico Klein, a former State Department employee chosen by ex-President Donald Trump, was found guilty of numerous felonies in a lengthy trial for assaulting Capitol Police on Jan. 6, 2021.
