Florida man arrested during Capitol riot says he was following President Trump’s directions
Michael Curzio asks to be released on bond

A Florida man who was arrested during the riot at the Capitol earlier this year is asking to be released on bond, claiming that he never engaged in any violence and he was just following former President Donald Trump’s directions.
In a newly filed motion, attorneys for 35-year-old Michael Curzio, of Summerfield, claim that the Capitol had already been breached and by the time he made his way inside, “the doors were already open and police officers were letting the crowd in.”
New evidence emerged in the impeachment trial about what President Donald J. Trump did from roughly 1 to 6 p.m. the day of the Capitol attack. But many questions remain unanswered.

Sen. Ron Wyden and the Oregon Democratic Party both deplored the results of the impeachment trial held in the U.S. Senate.
In a near party line vote, former President Donald Trump was acquitted by the U.S. Senate during an unprecedented second impeachment trial after Trump had already left office.
The vote of 57-43 fell 10 ballots short of the two-thirds necessary for conviction on charges that Trump incited a riot at the U.S. Capitol that left several dead in January. Seven Republicans voted to convict, per national media accounts.
