The defense concluded Guandolo’s testimony, with cross-examination expected to take place tomorrow. Among the list of other potential witnesses the defense intends to call on is Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers.
The defense then called to the stand its first witness, John Guandolo. Guandolo is a former FBI agent who was present at the Capitol building in Washington D.C. the day of the attack. He said he witnessed a completely different picture than what the plaintiff’s expert witnesses had painted.
“The atmosphere that the plaintiff’s witnesses described about the Capitol on that day was grossly inaccurate. The atmosphere was a very peaceful atmosphere,” Guanoldo said. “I would say it was much more like a football tailgate party than it was some massive riot.” Rhodes was recently of seditious conspiracy and other charges related to the Jan. 6 attack. Due to the logistical challenges of Rhodes’s incarceration, however, his testimony is not a guarantee.Copyright 2022 KTUU. All rights reserved.
