Judge praises punished prosecutors
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, praised the two prosecutors who were replaced on the case before he sentenced Taranto to the time he already has served in jail. Nichols said the prosecutors, Samuel White and Carlos Valdivia, did a “truly excellent job” and “upheld the highest standards of professionalism.” But neither the judge nor the new prosecutors addressed any reason for placing them on leave.
The judge also said he intends to unseal prosecutors’ original sentencing memo unless they can justify in writing why it shouldn’t be made public again.
Taranto served over 22 months in pretrial detention before he was released after the trial. Nichols sentenced him to 21 months in prison and three years of supervised release.
Prosecutors had recommended a prison sentence of two years and three months. He was convicted in May for illegally possessing two guns and roughly 500 rounds of ammunition in Obama’s neighborhood in June 2023. Nichols also convicted Taranto of recording himself making a hoax threat to bomb a government building in Maryland.
