Two former police officers from Virginia charged with participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol have rejected plea agreements.
The Roanoke Times reports that Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Aloi didn鈥檛 say at a hearing Tuesday what concessions prosecutors offered Thomas 鈥淭.J鈥� Robertson and Jacob Fracker in exchange for pleading guilty.
Defense attorneys didn鈥檛 explain their reasons, but Fracker has told authorities that police let them into the Capitol.
Aloi says she hasn鈥檛 seen evidence of that, but prosecutors are still sifting through footage.
A status hearing was set for Sept. 23.聽They’re charged with obstruction of an official proceeding, entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct in the Capitol.
Both were fired shortly after their arrests.
