confesses to attack, admits to working with journalist Sergio Olmos

Alleged Antifa-affiliated defendant John Colin Hacker testified on Monday in journalist Andy Ngo's civil trial against Rose City Antifa, and confessed to alleged crimes levied against him in the complaint. This testimony came as Judge Sinlapasai issued new court orders that banned the public and non-credentialed press from being in the courtroom for the duration of the trial. This decision was made due to multiple disruptions in the courtroom since the trial began last week, as well as safety concerns.

Hacker has been accused by Post Millennial Senior Editor Andy Ngo of assault, battery, theft, and intentional infliction of emotional distress over multiple alleged incidents of violence which began in 2019, according to the complaint. Ngo is seeking $300,000 from Hacker in damages.
