Nicholas Roske, who planned an attempted assassination on the judge of the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh in 2022, was sentenced to about eight years.
Roske, who now identifies himself as a transgender woman named Sophie, was sentenced to 97 months in federal prison by judge Deborah Boardman, a judge appointed by Biden, according to a press release from the Public Affairs Office of the Ministry of Justice (DOJ).
Politico reports that Boardman said that she had taken into account Roske’s transgender identity to determine the sentence.
After Roske’s release, he faces a “supervised liberation life”.
“The attempted assassination of the judge of the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh was a disgusting attack against our entire judicial system by a deeply disturbed person,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi in a statement. “The Ministry of Justice will appeal to the terribly insufficient sentence inflicted by the district court, which does not reflect the horrible facts of this case.”
Breitbart News reported in September that the documents obtained by the Daily Wire, showed that Roske – a biological man, “identifies himself as a transgender woman and was deeply mentally ill and suicidal.”
The Daily Wire said that “a familiar source with the legal proceedings in the case” said Roske would have used “online female identities before the murder attempt”.
According to a press release from the MJ public affairs office in April 2025, Roske pleaded guilty to trying to kill Kavanaugh.
According to the press release, as part of Roske’s guilt of guilt, he “admitted that on June 7, 2022, he flew from Los Angeles International Airport to Dulles International Airport with a firearm and ammunition in his checkered luggage”, then went to Montgomery County, Maryland “with the intention of killing” Kavanaugh.
Joel Pollak, principal editor -in -chief of Breitbart News, reported in January that Roske “told the police that he had been inspired by the flight of an opinion project in the case that had canceled Roe c. Wade. “”
