Donald Trump's supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2020 as lawmakers ratified Joe Biden's president victory.
A federal judge in Washington D.C on Thursday had harsh words for an accused in last January's attack on the US Capitol who asked permission to go to Jamaica for ten days.
Chief Judge Beryl Howell said she would not commemorate the January 6 anniversary by allowing the request from the defendant, Anthony Williams, who called the event the proudest day of his life.
In an order on Thursday, the judge noted that Williams wanted to travel to Jamaica to meet the family of a woman with whom he has been in a committed relationship for more than a year.
A federal grand jury indicted Williams in May on charges stemming from the January 6 attack.
He pleaded not guilty in early June and was released on several conditions, including that he receive court approval for any international travel.
Williams is among more than 700 accused participants in the Capitol attack who have been arrested.
