The Washington Post reports:
A former state lawmaker who six weeks ago apologized to a federal judge for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack is now writing a book for a right-wing publisher claiming he has been mistreated. Derrick Evans, who was sentenced in June to three months in prison after pleading guilty to a felony, said that he had been “slandered.”
