BREAKING: Jan. 6 rioter who said he wanted Trump’s ‘approval’ found guilty by jury
A Donald Trump supporter who told jurors he was “following presidential orders” when he stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was found guilty on all six charges Thursday after he admitted that he stole a coat rack and a bottle of liquor from the building.
Dustin Thompson, of Ohio, testified during his trial that he got sucked into online conspiracy theories when he got laid off from his job at the start of the pandemic in 2020 and said he was seeking Trump’s “respect” and “approval” on Jan. 6.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton ordered Thompson detained until his sentencing, even though the government didn’t request that he do so. Walton said he was convinced that Thompson lied on the stand, and showed that he was “weak-minded” and couldn’t be trusted.
