Des Moines, Iowa — A judge, on Friday, denied a request by a Des Moines man charged in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, to have his trial moved to Iowa. The judge also denied Doug Jensen’s request to drop a charge of Obstruction against him. Jensen will stand trial in Washington, D.C., for his alleged role in the riots.

The court will also allow prosecutors to show the jury publicly available video beyond what was captured by police and security cameras. Jensen’s trial starts Sept. 19th.
