SALT LAKE CITY — A federal judge Friday sentenced Utah activist John Earle Sullivan to six years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection.
A jury last year convicted Sullivan of seven counts. That includes three charges related to carrying a weapon — a knife — and counts accusing him of interrupting Congress as it voted to certify the U.S. presidential election on Jan. 6, 2021. Sullivan, testifying in his own defense, has maintained he went to the Capitol because he believed there would be a violent effort to stop the certification and he wanted to film the altercations. Court records say he sold his video footage to news outlets for $90,000.
Prosecutors called to the witness stand a Salt Lake City-based FBI agent who interviewed Sullivan after he returned to Utah. They also called witnesses who testified in previous insurrection trials – a Capitol police officer who described the mob and violence and a Secret Service agent who discussed the threat the mob posed to then-Vice President Mike Pence.
