WASHINGTON A federal judge delayed the sentencing of Capitol rioter Robert Reeder on Wednesday, just hours after a community of online sleuths collectively known as the Sedition Hunters surfaced several new videos that allegedly show Reeder assaulting a Capitol Police officer during the Jan. 6 attack.

The videos, published at the @SeditionHunters Twitter page , were discovered about four hours before the court hearing, according to a post from the account.

This truly is a massive undertaking, the @SeditionHunters account posted . Did we make it in time?

Reeder was scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday afternoon on a plea deal he reached in June, in which hed pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. The terms of the plea deal allowed prosecutors to bring additional charges if they discovered evidence of any violent crimes that Reeder committed on Jan. 6 or beyond.
