A federal judge in Washington D.C. has approved Jan. 6 defendant John Earle Sullivan’s request to subpoena a California filmmaker who followed him around the Capitol and was filmed in the Rotunda giving him a hug and telling him, “We did it!”

Mr. Sullivan’s defense attorney on Oct. 5 asked U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth to issue a subpoena to Jade Sacker, 25, of Los Angeles, to appear as a material witness in Mr. Sullivan’s Oct. 23 criminal trial. Judge Lamberth approved the motion a day later and directed his clerk to issue the subpoena.
