A federal appeals court panel, including two judges appointed by former President Donald Trump and one appointed by former President Barack Obama, has unanimously upheld the conviction and sentence of Thomas Webster, a former New York City Police Officer. Webster, who was convicted of five felonies and one misdemeanor related to attacking a police officer during the January 6 Capitol riot, had argued that he could not receive an impartial jury in Washington, D.C. due to political bias. The court rejected his claims, stating that he failed to prove District juries were inherently biased against him. The ruling reaffirms the decisions made by the lower courts, denying Webster's appeal for a change of venue and his objections regarding jury impartiality.
