From the article:

At the heart of the matter was whether Federal Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui could hold Taranto as a flight risk without new charges having been filed for his arrest by federal agents for allegedly threatening the Obamas and other lawmakers. Defense attorneys told the judge that Taranto was “savagely attacked” Tuesday in the D.C. Metropolitan Jail by other Jan. 6 defendants, according to NBC News reporter Ryan Reilly. MacFarlane said that his defense attorney told the judge Taranto was moved to isolation after the attack.
