None of that was true from the very beginning,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it didn\u2019t stop the media from perpetuating the same sorry story about him being associated with some extremist group. It\u2019s just factually untrue.\u201dHancock also asserted that Rittenhouse was charged \u201cwithout any meaningful investigation in the first place.\u201d\u201cHad they done a meaningful investigation I believe that we wouldn\u2019t be sitting in this courtroom right now,\u201d he said.During Wednesday\u2019s trial, the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, clashed with Judge Bruce Schroeder over video evidence the prosecution wanted to play for the jury.Rittenhouse\u2019s attorneys objected that the person who took one of the videos of events leading up to the shooting was editorializing in his narration. The judge argued with the prosecution for several minutes before deciding that the video could be played but must be muted for most of the time.Hancock called the move to include the audio \u201cpar for the course\u201d for the prosecutor \u201csince day one of the charges.\u201d\u201cThe comfort that we have is we know Kyle. And we know what he was doing, what kind of kid he actually is,\u201d Hancock said.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
