Federal prosecutors are pushing back against claims of mistreatment at a Washington, DC, jail where dozens of U.S. Capitol rioters are being held.

The Justice Department on Wednesday addressed complaints lodged by defendant Christopher Worrell, whose case has become a cause célèbre in right-wing circles because of his health issues while in jail.

“During an October 13 hearing, Worrell’s lawyer claimed that because jail officials had dragged their feet getting his client medical treatment for a broken finger, Worrell needed surgery,” reports CNN. “He is also diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and at one point he contracted Covid-19 while at the jail.”
