Ryan J. Reilly is a justice reporter for NBC News.

WASHINGTON — A Jan. 6 defendant who, federal prosecutors say, sought to 'incite violence,' 'instigate s---' and 'foment anarchy' during the attack on the U.S. Capitol will be sentenced Friday afternoon, with the government arguing for a lengthy sentence of more than seven years in federal prison. John Sullivan was convicted in November on numerous charges, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder.

' NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News, is one of the media outlets that paid to license Sullivan’s footage in the aftermath of the attack. Federal prosecutors previously seized the $90,875 in funds that Sullivan received from various media outlets and are asking a judge to impose a fine of $90,875, saying he 'should not be able to ‘capitalize’ on his participation in the Capitol breach and should be fined the entire amount of his proceeds.
