The man who allegedly planned to kill U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh intends to plead guilty, according to a new court filing.

Nicholas Roske acknowledges that U.S. prosecutors would prove at trial that he traveled to Kavanaugh’s Maryland home in 2022 “with the intent to kill the Associate Justice and then himself,” the filing, lodged on April 2 and signed by Roske, stated.
