CNN — A January 6 defendant on Friday taunted a federal judge’s decision to send him immediately to prison for one year for his role in the US Capitol riot, shouting as he was being handcuffed that President-elect Donald Trump would pardon him.

The rioter, Philip Sean Grillo of New York City, announced after his sentencing, “Trump’s gonna pardon me anyways,” as a US marshal had him remove his belt and tie before handcuffing him inside the courtroom.

Senior Judge Royce Lamberth of the DC District Court spoke about the judiciary’s role in bringing justice to hundreds of Capitol rioters who have faced criminal charges over the past four years. On Trump’s pledge to pardon them, Lamberth said he “has nothing to say about that decision.”

“I will do my job as I’m bound by oath to do, and the president will do his. It’s as simple as that,” the judge told the courtroom. He added that the delivery of justice was worth the effort, “no matter the political winds of the day.”
