The Department of Justice plans to offer a plea deal to a Trump appointee who was charged in the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, prosecutors said on May 10.

“We expect to extend a plea offer to Mr. Klein. It’s not clear whether that’s something he’s interested in, but we do expect to extend it to allow him to consider it,” a prosecutor told the court in a remote hearing.
