In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, Cynthia Hughes, founder of the Jan. 6 defendant advocacy group “Patriot Freedom Project” (PFP) and top Jan. 6 attorney Joe McBride discussed their experiences, describing “despicable” conditions and a pressing desire to ensure that the rights of these defendants are respected.
