Nicholas Roske of California, who was found outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home with weapons in 2022, intends to plead guilty to a federal charge of attempting to assassinate a justice of the United States, court filings obtained by CBS News revealed.
According to a submission Wednesday afternoon from Roske’s defense attorney, “Mr. Roske wishes to plead guilty to the one-count Indictment pending against him.” Roske had pleaded not guilty following his arrest.
A new plea hearing could be scheduled for as early as Monday in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Roske was found in June 2022 outside Kavanaugh’s Montgomery County, Maryland, home armed with a gun, knife and burglary tools, according to court documents.
