Enrique Tarrio appeared in court for the first time since being sentenced to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The announcement by Chad Chronister, a Florida sheriff with virtually no experience in the kinds of complex international investigations the agency handles, comes just three days after his selection.

Lt. Shane Lamond, charged with obstruction and lying to agents, is expected to call Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader who was convicted of sedition over the Jan. 6 riot, as a defense witness.

Sheriff Chad Chronister, who has spent decades in Hillsborough County, Fla., is likely to face an array of challenges should he be confirmed as the agency’s administrator.

The suit was brought by Ray Epps, who was falsely characterized by Tucker Carlson and others as being a government agent who instigated the violence at the Capitol.

The special counsel effectively brought to a close the Justice Department efforts to hold Donald J. Trump accountable in the election and classified documents cases.

Edward Kelley was found guilty of conspiring to murder the agents two weeks after he was convicted at a separate trial of assault and other charges related to the Capitol attack.

The president-elect intends to nominate three members of his criminal defense team to senior roles, raising further concerns about politicization of the department.

A Kansas man accused of attacking the Capitol in 2021 argued the trial should be delayed since President-elect Donald J. Trump has pledged that he would pardon rioters who stormed the building.
