LOUISVILLE, Ky.–A federal judge has delayed the trial of John Johnson, the black nationalist militia leader accused of pointing his firearm at a group of law enforcement officers during a September 2020 racial justice protest in Louisville, Kentucky.
Johnson’s trial was set to begin on April 27, and a cameraman from a local television news station was awaiting the defendant’s arrival that morning outside Gene Snyder U.S. Courthouse. But inside, reporters were told by the clerk that the trial had been delayed until May 23.
