In a new development in the ongoing battle for transparency surrounding the Government’s unprecedented lawfare against January 6 defendants, J6er Ryan Zink and his attorney, Roger Roots, have filed an opposition (Document 155, filed April 21, 2025) to the government’s attempt to conceal critical evidence from the public.
This filing, submitted in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, follows Zink’s recent victory in lifting a protective order on January 6 discovery materials and the government’s subsequent push to reverse that decision. The latest filing reveals a previously unreleased document, marked “highly sensitive” by the government, which lists the injuries reported by Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers on January 6.
The document shatters the government’s narrative of a violent “insurrection,” exposing it as a deliberate lie designed to smear President Donald Trump and interfere in the 2024 election.
The “highly sensitive” document, included as part of Zink and Roots’ filing, details that only 56 MPD officers reported injuries related to the January 6 protest.
