A northern Virginia man charged with assaulting two congressional staffers in their Virginia office with a baseball bat is now facing federal charges as well.
On Monday morning, a man wielding a metal bat attacked Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly’s Fairfax district office. Two members of Connolly’s staff were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and the assailant is in custody.
A military veteran from Virginia who told an undercover FBI agent about his admiration for Adolf Hitler and discussed a plan to “wipe out” the nation's Jewish population was sentenced on Monday to four years in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration last fall applied for federal funding meant to help Virginia continue to implement its red flag law, a gun control measure strongly opposed by many Republican lawmakers and gun rights activists. State officials say the roughly $5 million hasn’t been formally accepted and no decisions have been made about how it might be used.
