DDC COURTHOUSE, June 22 – Victoria Charity White is charged with being in the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
On June 22, 2022 she appeared before DDC Judge John D. Bates and said that her appointed Federal Public Defender is a grifter and that she may have been sexually assaulted in the Capitol passageway. Inner City Press, covering these cases, live tweeted it here:
"now Jan 6 case of Victoria Charity White, accused of entering the Capitol, she is pro se just called her appointed lawyer a grifter, says she may have been sexually assaulted in the tunnel. Judge shuts her down.
The appointed Federal Public Defender said he could not share the discovery material with Ms. White because of DOJ's protective order. She cut in and called him "human garbage."
DDC Judge John D. Bates suggests a next conference of July 8 at 12:30 pm. "Ms. White, are you nodding?"
A: Yes, your Honor.
Judge: Mr McBride, keep that date open, we'll let you know if you should attend. [Or if White will continue representing herself - a trend]
Judge Bates: It is your right to go pro se. I just want you have to full information, to hear from another lawyer. Try to hear what you are being told. Adjourned."
From DOJ's "statement of facts," this:
"on or about January 7, 2021, WHITE posted the following comment:
'A friend said Delete FB stuff. . . . I stated I’m not scared i was in the capitol DETAINED and they took my social security # name address they are coming for me. I am not afraid of them or anyone!! There I said it Come get me, You don’t know the story, it’s not what you think.'
" Law enforcement reviewed additional information on social media and the Internet, which further implicated WHITE’s involvement in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. For example, on or about January 7, 2021, The Black Conservative Preacher posted a video on its YouTube channel that showed Capitol rioters attempting to smash the glass over an entrance to the Capitol building near the lower west terrace."
The case is US v. White, 21-cr-563 (JDB).
