George Tanios to remain in jail

Bond was denied a second time for George Tanios, part-owner and operator of Sandwich University.

Tuesday’s ruling means Tanios and his friend Julian Khater will remain in the Washington, D.C., jail for the duration of their cases. Each man is each charged with 10 felonies for their part in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. The hearing was the continuation of an April 27 bond hearing which ran out of time.

Senior Judge Thomas Hogan, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said Tanios’ actions and those of his co-defendant, Julian Khater, played a role in the ultimate breach of the Capitol.

More details about the hearing will be posted soon.
