Capitol rioter Hodgkins new lawyer claims a forgery on his signed plea deal

‘Bizarre' hearing unfolds as Capitol rioter claims signature was forged and tries to take back guilty plea

During a hearing Wednesday, Hodgkins' new attorney — Carolyn Stewart — claimed a handwriting expert will testify that someone forged her client's signature on the plea agreement. Hodgkins says he "can't remember what he signed and wouldn't have signed this version," according to reports.

U.S. District Judge Randolph Daniel Moss responded to Stewart's forgery claim by pointing out that Hodgkins stated under oath, during his plea hearing, that the signature on the agreement was his. Moss suggested that Stewart could be putting her client at risk of perjury charges if Hodgkins is now alleging his signature was forged.

Stewart responded that "no one knows what paper was sitting on the table in front of him" when her client entered his plea.

Judge Moss ultimately declined to take up the forgery allegation — suggesting to Stewart that she could file a bar complaint against LeDuc.
