NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A Washington, D.C., judge on Wednesday ordered that a Georgia woman and her Tennessee son remain jailed pending trial on charges for their involvement in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Lisa Eisenhart is accused of breaking into the Capitol with her son, Eric Munchel, who was photographed carrying flexible plastic handcuffs in the Senate chamber.
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that “no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure the safety of the community” if the two are released pending trial.
Both of them “supported the violent overthrow of the United States government” and pose a “clear danger to our republic,” the judge wrote.
Eisenhart’s attorney filed a notice Thursday that she is appealing the ruling.
