Federal prosecutors managing the government’s case against Ammon Bundy and other militants involved in an armed takeover of an Oregon wildlife refuge returned a sealed indictment against Bundy on Wednesday.
The prosecutors brought the indictment to Magistrate Judge Janice Stewart. Defense attorneys stated that they had not seen the indictment before Wednesday’s proceeding. Stewart ordered that prosecutors turn over a copy of the document to defense attorneys within the next 24 hours.
“I think we should be able to see the charges the government is alleging against our client,” said lead defense attorney Mike Arnold. “I think we should be able to see them now” ...
Because the indictment handed down is sealed, the details of the charges are not available. The document could be partially unsealed sometime Thursday.
