A Wellington man charged with conspiring to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election results may get out of jail as soon as this weekend.
A federal judge on Thursday ruled that 44-year old Jason Dolan is not a threat to society as prosecutors claim and granted him $100,000 bond. But U.S. attorneys asked for a stay on his release while the feds decide if they might appeal the decision.
Dolan is accused of being a member of the Oath Keepers, a militia-type group that traveled to Washington, D.C. on January 6th. He reportedly spent less than ten minutes inside the Capitol.
Dolan's attorneys, which includes one of the lawyers who represented former President Trump during his second impeachment trial, say he was not part of a conspiracy.
Judge William Matthewman gave the prosecution until 4 p.m. Friday to decide on an appeal to Dolan's release.
