DDC COURTHOUSE, April 4 – Within sight of the U.S. Capitol more than three years after the incursion there, defendant Christopher Warnagiris was on trial on April 4, 2024 before Judge Paul L. Friedman. Inner City Press was there.
Agent Steven Weatherhead was on the witness stand testifying as to CC-TV video and what another officer, Sergeant Anthony Warner, told him.
Warnagiris' lawyer Marina Medvin said that as the first or second witness in the defense case she would be putting on FBI Agent David Elias, who would testify to having shown these videos to Warner in 2022, before Warner said he saw them.
The AUSA previewed that she might object. It is a bench trial: no jury, and only three people other than Inner City Press in the gallery (in contrast to the jammed courtrooms in New York for the upcoming Trump criminal trial).
The first defense witness here, it emerged, might be an Agent Webber.
Elsewhere in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia courthouse another January 6 trial was beginning, a jury trial presided over by Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya.
