At his sentencing hearing, assistant U.S. attorney Brittany Reed told a federal judge Straka’s conduct on Jan. 6 was “egregious” and, despite a cooperation agreement that got him out of a felony civil disorder charge, he should not be lumped in with other defendants who were caught up in the heat of the moment. Reed did not provide specifics about Straka’s cooperation on the public record and, at the time, many of the filings related to Straka’s sentencing were sealed.
On Wednesday, a batch of those documents was unsealed following a request from a media coalition of which WUSA9 is a member. Those newly unavailable documents included the substantial assistance sentencing memo filed by Straka’s attorney, Stuart J. Dornan.
In the memo, Dornan said Straka provided “significant information” to federal investigators over three interviews with the FBI following his arrest. In one interview on March 5, 2021, Straka, according to Dornan, provided information about “individuals who were inside of Nancy Pelosi’s office; individuals who were inciters at the Capitol; and organizers of the Stop the Steal movement.” He also listed the names of individuals Straka spoke to the FBI about. Those names include rally organizers Amy and Kylie Kremer, Cindy Chafian and Ali Alexander — who Dornan described as the “preeminent leader of the Stop the Steal movement.”
