FEDERAL COURT, July 2 -- On July 2, months after the DC Circuit's decision in US v. Munchel, DDC Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey held a proceeding on new defendant Fi Duong. Inner City Press covered it.
The governemnt filings in 21-mj-511, not yet public in the system, described how Duong was identified by a Metropolitan Police Undercover Employee:
"On the morning of January 6, 2021, FI DUONG and an associate of his (ASSOCIATE 1) introduced themselves to a Metropolitan Police Department Undercover Employee (MPD UCE) in the vicinity of Freedom Plaza, Washington, D.C. DUONG asked the MPD UCE if he/she was a “patriot,” to which the MPD UCE responded in the affirmative and asked DUONG the same question. DUONG responded by claiming to be an “operator.” Later that afternoon, the MPD UCE observed DUONG kneeling by a marble fence on the West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol building, past the line of police officers and the construction scaffolding which were in place on January 6, 2021. The location where DUONG was observed is known to be within what was a restricted zone on January 6, 2021. DUONG and the MPD UCE exchanged greetings to one another but did not communicate further. DUONG did not appear to be interacting with anyone else." Inner City Press is uploading the "Statement of Facts" to its DocumentCloud, here.
Duong was represented before Judge Harvey, in a proceeding late Friday before the Fourth of July weekend, by New York-based attorney Sabrina Shroff, whose work in the SDNY Inner City Press has covered in many cases, including the CIA leaks case of US v. Josh Schulte. She did just as well in this one, getting Duong released, and not confined to home so he can go out to work.
The case is US v. Duong, 21-mj0511 (DDD / Harvey).
