DDC COURTHOUSE,
July 8 – Victoria Charity
White is charged with being in
the Capitol on January 6,
2021.
On June 22, 2022
she appeared before DDC Judge
John D. Bates and said that
her appointed Federal Public
Defender is a grifter and that
she may have been sexually
assaulted in the Capitol
passageway. Inner City Press,
covering these cases, live
tweeted it here
and below.
On July 8, White
appeared again before Judge
Bates and was, it seems,
approved to go pro se - the
problem was, Judge Bates then
took the proceeding sealed,
and never returned with a
report of his decision. Inner
City Press will remain on the
case. July 8 thread here:
Victoria White
has hired her assigned lawyer
and wants to represent herself
(it's catching).
DDC Judge Bates
asks, Do you know the Federal
Rules of Evidence?
White:
Exculpatory evidence?
Judge Bates: In
my opinion, you'd do better
with a lawyer. I urge you
strongly not to try to
represent yourself. Do you
understand my advice? White: I
do.
Judge Bates: I
understand you were
unsatisfied with your last
lawyer. Is this what you want
to do? A: Yes.
Judge Bates: Have
you ever been treated for
mental issues?
White: You are
asking this in a public
proceeding?
Judge Bates: I'm
not going to ask more - just,
are you still in treatment?
White: I'm OK. Judge Bates:
Turn off the public line. Or
wait a minute.
Judge
Bates: Are you under the
influence?
White: No. Judge
Bates: You could have stand-by
counsel [Note: Like Josh
Schulte, case now before the
jury in SDNY, booklet
coming] Do you want one?
White: Yes I do.
Judge Bates: I
want to speak privately with
you. But first, we have a
trial in January. I'd like to
get back with you in a status
conference on Oct 14 at 11
am.
AUSA: I've been
on military leave but I've
looked, there should be
adjustments to the protective
order
Judge Bates: OK,
we're now going into closed
session
From June 22:
"now Jan 6 case of Victoria
Charity White, accused of
entering the Capitol, she is
pro se just called her
appointed lawyer a grifter,
says she may have been
sexually assaulted in the
tunnel. Judge shuts her
down.
The appointed
Federal Public Defender said
he could not share the
discovery material with Ms.
White because of DOJ's
protective order. She cut in
and called him "human
garbage."
DDC Judge John D.
Bates suggests a next
conference of July 8 at 12:30
pm. "Ms. White, are you
nodding?"
A: Yes, your
Honor.
Judge: Mr
McBride, keep that date open,
we'll let you know if you
should attend. [Or if White
will continue representing
herself - a trend]
Judge
Bates: It is your right to go
pro se. I just want you have
to full information, to hear
from another lawyer. Try to
hear what you are being told.
Adjourned."
From
DOJ's "statement of facts,"
this:
"on or about
January 7, 2021, WHITE posted
the following comment:
'A friend said
Delete FB stuff. . . . I
stated I’m not scared i was in
the capitol DETAINED and they
took my social security # name
address they are coming for
me. I am not afraid of them or
anyone!! There I said it Come
get me, You don’t know the
story, it’s not what you
think.'
" Law enforcement
reviewed additional
information on social media
and the Internet, which
further implicated WHITE’s
involvement in the Capitol
riot on January 6, 2021. For
example, on or about January
7, 2021, The Black
Conservative Preacher posted a
video on its YouTube channel
that showed Capitol rioters
attempting to smash the glass
over an entrance to the
Capitol building near the
lower west terrace."
The case is US v.
White, 21-cr-563 (JDB).
