Jenny Cudd, who was charged with participating in the January 6 uprising at the U.S. Capitol, made headlines last week after she asked a federal court to give her permission to leave the country for a retreat in Mexico.
According to new court documents, she will be able to take her trip.
A federal judge ruled Friday afternoon in favor of Cudd’s request and granted the motion of Texas florists to visit Mexico for a ‘planned and prepaid’ four-day weekend getaway with her employees in Riviera Maya later this month.
Judge Trevor McFadden of the DC District Court signed the order, pointing out that Cudd has no criminal history yet. McFadden, a 2017-nominated Trump, also said there is no evidence to suggest she poses a danger to others or is a flight risk.
The motion says Cudd will have to submit her itinerary to her supervising officer.
Cudd was charged in January with unlawful entry into a restricted building and with disorderly conduct after the FBI said video footage showed Jan. 6 in the Capitol. According to FBI documents, Cudd walked around different parts of the Capitol and used social media to spend her time in the building.
“I charged the Capitol with patriots today. Hell yes, I’m proud of my actions,” she reportedly said in a Facebook video.
After the riot, Cudd remained apologetic. She took part in an interview with a local news station where she confirmed that she had entered the building and according to the FBI documents said she would do it again.
Unlike other rioters charged in the attack, Cudd was released on the grounds of her arrest. Her lawyer told CNN she intends to plead not guilty to the charges.
To allow the case over the retreat, which was allegedly planned before her action on January 6, Cudd’s lawyers described her as a ‘small business owner’ and ‘established member of her community’ who followed all the court orders. . far and had no criminal history.
