Federal prosecutors on Friday said a man who pleaded guilty in a plot to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh should receive a prison sentence of 30 years to life.
Nicholas Roske, who was arrested after authorities said they found him near Kavanaugh’s Maryland residence in June 2022, has pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate a justice of the United States.
Roske, according to an affidavit, told a detective he was upset about the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and the leak of a draft Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
