Taranto, who was found with illegal guns and ammunition near Obama’s house, was convicted of those charges in May. In their memo Tuesday, Valdivia and White, asked a judge to sentence Taranto to 27 months in prison.

Laying out the factual background of their request, Valdivia and White told the court Taranto participated in the Jan. 6 attack and subsequently spread conspiracy theories about it.

    The Department of Justice (DOJ) this week placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol,” a source familiar with the personnel moves told Democracy Docket.

    The two D.C. federal prosecutors, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, were locked out of their devices and placed on leave just hours after filing a sentencing memo in the department’s case against Taylor Taranto, a former Jan. 6 defendant, according to ABC News, which first reported on the removals.
