Federico Klein, an ex-State Department employee appointed by former President Donald Trump, was convicted of multiple felonies after a long-lasting trial regarding accusations of violence toward the Capitol Police on Jan. 6, 2021.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden heard testimony without a jury on Thursday and convicted Klein on 12 counts — six related to assaulting, impeding, or resisting Capitol police officers, the Washington Post reported. Klein is expected to be sentenced on Nov. 3.McFadden, who was nominated to the Washington, D.C., court in 2017 by Trump, convicted Klein alongside co-defendant Steven Cappuccio, part of nine co-defendants charged with violent crimes during the Capitol insurrection.
Klein started off as an aide for Trump’s 2016 campaign before working as a special assistant in the Office of Brazilian and Southern Cone Affairs in 2017. He resigned from the role a day before President Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to a ProPublic database. An indictment from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said Klein “willfully and knowingly engaged in an act of physical violence within the United States Capitol Grounds and any of the Capitol Buildings."
