WASHINGTON u A California man will go before a federal jury next
June to face accusations he traveled across the country in 2022
to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Nicholas Roske, 28, appeared alongside his lawyers in a federal
court in Greenbelt on Tuesday. The hearing was RoskeAs first
appearance in court in nearly two years. HeAs been detained
without bond since his arrest in June 2022 on a charge of
attempting to assassinate a justice of the United States.

Roske was arrested outside KavanaughAs Montgomery County home
after telling an emergency dispatcher he was having thoughts of
harming himself and Kavanaugh and had a firearm in his suitcase.
A search of RoskeAs luggage after his arrest turned up a 9mm
Glock 17 pistol with two magazines and ammo, a black tactical
chest rig, a knife, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, a crowbar
and duct tape. In a post-arrest interview with police, Roske
reportedly said he was upset about the leak of the then-draft
decision that ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade as well as the
possibility that Kavanaugh would vote to loosen gun control laws.

oROSKE stated that he began thinking about how to give his life
a purpose and decided that he would kill the Supreme Court
Justice after finding the JusticeAs Montgomery County address on
the Internet,o prosecutors said in court filings.
