‘Came over here to act’: Man accused of attempting to assassinate Kavanaugh will plead guilty — without a deal

Brett Kavanaugh listens.

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Brett Kavanaugh watches as Taoiseach Micheal Martin speaks at a breakfast meeting hosted by U.S. Vice President JD Vance at his official residence in Washington D.C., as part of his weeklong visit to the U.S. on March 12, 2025 (Press Association via AP Images).

The California man who allegedly attempted to assassinate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will plead guilty as charged, according to a Tuesday filing in Maryland federal court.

Trial for Nicholas John Roske, 28, was slated to begin on June 9.

Now, the defendant will forego two more months of waiting, as well as the stress of the adversarial system. But, Roske will make his admission of culpability lacking the guard rails of a plea deal with prosecutors, according to the notice of intent to plead guilty.

“Because the parties have not entered into a plea agreement, this letter is meant to memorialize the factual basis for the plea and assist the Court in the Rule 11 colloquy,” the notice reads.
