Hemenway received a sentence of 45 days in prison and 60 hours of community service for his actions on Jan. 6. Martin was “on supervision” from his prior conviction when he took part in the Jan. 6 riot, prosecutors said. Benjamin Martin pled to obstruction of a public officer in 2003, a 2016 battery charge where he repeatedly struck his 14-year-old daughter, and a 2018 battery charge where Martin choked his girlfriend and dragged her back into the house after she tried to flee,” prosecutors wrote. David Daniel of Mint Hill, N.C., is charged with “Production of Child Pornography” and “Possession of Child Pornography,” which allegedly “involved a prepubescent minor” and a child under 12 years old. Theodore Middendorf was accused by Illinois prosecutors of “Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child.” Prosecutors said in a court filing obtained by NPR that Middendorf “committed an act of sexual penetration.” Indiana state records indicate that Middendorf’s victim was 7 years old.<\/p>\n
She added that additional donations brought the total first quarter gift to over $260,000. We will keep watching to see if Trump continues to donate his salary, but for now we rate this In the Works. “As far as salary is concerned, I won’t take even one dollar,” Trump said in a Q&A Twitter session in September 2015. During the campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to forgo the $400,000 paycheck. We will keep tabs on whether Trump continues to donate his salary, but for now he’s been doing just that.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to establish a seven-month intensive training program called ‘Emerging Leaders,'” McMahon said at the briefing. “It’s an adaptation of that program for our veterans, helping them transition from military life into private sector if they desire to start their own jobs and their own companies and be entrepreneurs.” McMahon said the money would go toward the SBA veterans program, specifically a training program aimed at veterans interested in entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
In connection with Jan. 6, Hemenway pleaded guilty to a charge of “Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building,” after he breached the U.S. Capitol building while chanting “Stop the Steal!” and “Our house!” At one point, prosecutors said, he took a selfie inside the Capitol with his middle finger raised to the camera, and posed for another photo while standing on a government vehicle that had been overrun by the rioters. In 2023, Mellis pleaded guilty to “Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding Certain Officers Using a Dangerous Weapon” and agreed as part of his plea that he used a large wooden stick to “repeatedly strike or stab” police officers on Jan. 6. “The defendant had forcible intercourse with the victim, choked her to the point of impairing her vision, banged her head into a wall, and urinated into the victim’s mouth to humiliate her,” prosecutors alleged in arguments over sentencing. “When the victim attempted to flee, naked, the defendant caught up to her and threw her down.”<\/p>\n

Trump reiterated this pledge as president-elect more than a year later on Nov. 13, 2016, when he told 60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl he still wouldn’t take the salary. “The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them.” Right about now, the 45th president is due to receive his first paycheck, part of a $400,000 annual salary delivered in monthly installments. Sanders said the first quarter funds went toward restoring two projects at a national battlefield.<\/p>\n
