The Justice Department is urging the judge to reject the defendant’s Jan. 6 request to attend Trump’s inauguration

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday asked a federal judge to deny a request by a defendant convicted of participating in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next month, according to a court filing.

Cindy Young of New Hampshire was convicted earlier this year in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of four misdemeanors for her involvement in the Capitol riots and sentenced to four months in prison and a suspended sentence that included conditions prohibiting her from acting without permission her parole officer to enter Washington, DC.

Last week, Young requested permission to attend Trump’s inauguration in a filing that said she “does not pose a danger to the community and does not pose a flight risk.”

But Justice Department prosecutors disputed that argument, citing Young’s repeated calls for “retaliation” in the years since Jan. 6 against jurors, judges and law enforcement involved in the Capitol breach cases.

“The risk Young posed to the people of D.C. did not end when she left the building,” prosecutors said in their filing Wednesday, also in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

They further noted that Young publicly “mocked” officials who were targeted by the pro-Trump mafia, many of whom “will be reassigned to protecting the Capitol and the Constitution on January 20, 2025.”

“Therefore, her presence at a law enforcement-occupied event would not only pose a danger, but would also result in further harassment of the officers whom Young has publicly ridiculed,” the filing states.

Young is just one of several Jan. 6 defendants who have asked for permission to attend Trump’s inauguration.

Retired Republican Rep. Chris Stewart invited Russell Taylor, a California man who pleaded guilty to a felony for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, to the inauguration. However, Taylor also must seek permission from a judge to travel to Washington, DC, after he “repeatedly called for violence and a show of force” to overturn the election and led a mob on January 6 near the inauguration overran a police line. His verdict stated that he was “carrying an exposed knife on a bulletproof chest plate and carrying bear spray.”

Taylor received recognition from Judge Royce Lamberth, who oversaw his first case and will decide his ability to travel to Washington, for agreeing to take a plea deal, but he has not yet decided whether he will be allowed to attend the inauguration.

Another Jan. 6 defendant, Eric Peterson, also requested permission to travel to Washington for the inauguration.
