'Suit Macer,' subject of Jan. 6 conspiracies, admits to bear-spraying Capitol officers.
In a nearly empty courtroom a few blocks from the Capitol, Assistant U.S. Attorney Will Widman laid out the facts the government said it could prove in court: that Rodriquez traveled by train to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and joined a charter bus that arrived hours before President Donald Trump's speech on Jan. 6, 2021, in the middle of the night. It could prove, Widman said, that while he was on the restricted grounds of the U.S.
The government also pointed to an inquiry Rodriguez made on Google after the attack:"What does bear spray do to humans?" Leaving the courthouse, Rodriguez was a bit more camera-shy than he was on Jan. 6, using his gloved hand to try to obstruct a view of his face when he saw a reporter taking photos of his departure. He hopped into an Uber ride with his lawyer.
