A flicker from the prison window was met with cheers from the small crowd. The signal has become a near-nightly tradition at the DC Central Detention Facility. It was the night before the fourth anniversary of January 6, 2021 when thousands stormed the United States Capitol in an extraordinary attempt to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. At least 1,583 people have been charged in connection with the events of January 6, 2021. Approximately 608 of those were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers. In many ways, pardoning those convicted would be a crowning achievement for Trump. Trump has referred to those defendants as “political prisoners” and “hostages”. Biden decried Trump’s attempts to reframe the US Capitol attack as an act of patriotism. Some right-wing politicians and institutions have also denounced efforts to downplay the attack. Authorities have repeatedly refuted those claims. In his broadcast telephone call, Box reiterated the oft-repeated claim that no Capitol Police officers died as a direct result of the attack. The Capitol Police, however, have maintained that five deaths were linked to the riot. Nicole Reffitt was convicted of civil disorder, obstructing an official proceeding and remaining in a restricted building with a firearm. She and her fellow protesters set up an “advent calendar” to mark down the days until Trump’s inauguration on January 20. "I saw half-truths and exaggerations used as fact of law," Fellows said.
