(CNN) A pro-Trump organizer and social media influencer who spoke at a Washington, DC, rally the day before the US Capitol attack was sentenced to three years of probation on Monday. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct on Capitol in October. Straka will have to pay a $5,000 fine, the maximum fine allowed, and an additional $500 for the damage done to the Capitol building by the mob. "And his actions that day are so inconsistent with that." Friedrich, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, added that it was "deeply troubling" that Straka used his social media accounts to defend what happened on January 6.
