Stewart Rhodes received the second-longest prison sentence of any of the Jan. 6 defendants. President Trump gave a speech to his supporters before they stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. President Trump has claimed that rioters who were prosecuted for attacking Capitol police officers were treated “so unfairly.” While the angry mob attacked police officers inside, Rhodes remained outside coordinating the attack, according to the DOJ. Rhodes and the other defendants had challenged their convictions in hopes of expunging their records.
