Trump's Bedminster Resort to Host Gala Honoring Jan. 6 Defendants
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump's golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, is hosting a
January 6 awards gala next week, when organizers plan to honor 20
defendants arrested for taking part in the deadly January 6
insurrection. Donald Trump is listed as an invited speaker to the gala.

Meanwhile, a Maryland man who threw a smoke bomb at police on January 6
has been convicted on a number of charges, including civil disorder and
assaulting police. Justin Lee, who became a police officer after the
insurrection, will be sentenced on November 6.
