WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors are seeking more than 11 years in federal prison for convicted Jan. 6 defendant Brent Bozell IV, the son and grandson of two men who shaped the American conservative movement in the 20th and 21st Century. Bozell IV, also known as 'Zeeker,' smashed windows at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and was convicted of a host of charges in September, including five felonies. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 17.
'After January 6, Bozell expressed disappointment that the election results were eventually certified despite the mob’s efforts, calling Mike Pence a 'traitor' for his part in certifying the election results. Bozell also sought to minimize and justify his conduct,' federal prosecutors wrote. 'For example, he made fantastical claims about how he accessed the building, and he told his friends and family that the 'Capitol siege was morally justified.
