This included a videotaped interview with Gibson. The judge ruled the defendants were denied due process and a fair trial, citing “numerous intentional discovery violations.” Therefore, the Cases cannot be retried for these offenses, as their charges have been dismissed with prejudice.

SUMMARY: Congress officially certified Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election on January 6, 2025, a stark contrast to the violent events of January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol.
