FEDERAL COURT,
July 2 --
On July 2,
months
after the DC
Circuit's
decision in US
v. Munchel, DDC
Magistrate Judge G.
Michael
Harvey
held a
proceeding on new
defendant Fi
Duong. Inner
City Press
covered it.
The governemnt
filings in
21-mj-511,
not yet public
in the system,
described
how Duong was
identified by
a Metropolitan
Police
Undercover Employee:
"On the
morning of
January 6,
2021, FI DUONG
and an
associate of
his (ASSOCIATE
1) introduced
themselves to
a Metropolitan
Police
Department
Undercover
Employee (MPD
UCE) in
the vicinity
of Freedom
Plaza,
Washington,
D.C. DUONG
asked the MPD
UCE if he/she
was a
“patriot,” to
which the MPD
UCE responded
in the
affirmative
and asked
DUONG the
same
question.
DUONG
responded by
claiming to be
an
“operator.”
Later that
afternoon, the
MPD UCE
observed DUONG
kneeling by a
marble fence
on the
West Terrace
of the U.S.
Capitol
building, past
the line of
police
officers and
the
construction
scaffolding
which were in
place on
January 6,
2021. The
location where
DUONG was
observed
is known to be
within what
was a
restricted
zone on
January 6,
2021. DUONG
and the MPD
UCE
exchanged
greetings to
one another
but did not
communicate
further. DUONG
did not appear
to be
interacting
with anyone
else."
Inner City Press is
uploading the
"Statement of
Facts" to its
DocumentCloud,
here.
Duong was
represented
before Judge
Harvey, in a proceeding
late Friday
before the
Fourth of July
weekend, by
New York-based
attorney
Sabrina
Shroff, whose
work in
the SDNY Inner
City Press has
covered in
many cases,
including the CIA
leaks case of
US
v. Josh
Schulte.
She did just
as well in
this one,
getting Duong
released, and
not confined
to home so he
can go out to
work.
The case is
US v. Duong,
21-mj0511 (DDD
/ Harvey).
We will
have more on
this.
