LIVE FEED: April 9 Hearing

APRIL 20 4:40 PM PDT - LarsonLeak has obtained the full court transcript and releases it.

4:32 PM MDT — KEY TAKEAWAYS: Daniel officially pleads guilty to Count 6 (threatening MacDougall). Proposed sentencing is 27-33 months in federal prison. Daniel will get credit for the time he's already served. Judge Rodriguez will make an official ruling on July 21, 2026 at 1pm.

Daniel accepted a plea deal shortly after being found competent. Today, we saw exactly what the agreement was.

Daniel agreed to:
-Plead guilty to Count 6

The government agreed to:
-Dismiss Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7

-Daniel gave the FBI the right to dispose of his Motorola Moto G Stylus phone they had as evidence.

-The US Marshals and BOP are monitoring attempted contacts to Daniel and all attempts of contact while in prison and after release, all to be reported to the court.

Additional note: Dexerto has published an article that is misleading and confusing many people online.The headline reads, “TikToker Daniel Larson has pleaded guilty to making bomb threats and faces up to 5 years in prison.” We’d like to clarify that Daniel didn’t plead guilty to any of the bomb threats he made, nor does he actually face 5 years in prison. The only charge Daniel plead guilty to was related to (non bomb) threats he made towards an fbi agent, the 6 bomb threat charges were dismissed. Daniel and the gov also have agreed to a sentencing range between 27-33 months. The judge will rule within that range.

4:31 PM MDT — Courtroom minutes

3:42 PM MDT — Source who was in the courtroom says Daniel Larson plead guilty to Count 6, threatening MacDougall. Sentencing delayed to July. We are still waiting to confirm this via official court documents and will provide more details shortly.

Source also says that Chad Oxman is his new legal guardian. Daniel was “more on edge this time.” There were about 10 fans in the gallery, including “broccoli-heads from TikTok” thinking Daniel was going to get released today, and a few CU frat members in suits. The source said he walked up to the TikTok fans and said “yo, take your hats off, go in, and just be quiet because Feiler is going to want us out of there.” They went and put their hats in their car and ended up being allowed in.

Daniel did an “angry tongue” as he sat down. The judge explained all the legal proceedings to make sure he understood, and he replied with about 15 “yes your honors.”

Judge Rodriguez asked Daniel basic questions like his name, age, and what his highest level of schooling was. He said “high school and some college” and she asked what he studied and he said “music.” She asked where he went to school and he said “Uh…. UC… LA Film School.”

He had a slightly grown out buzz-cut and “long ass claw fingernails.” Still chubbier like last time.

Oxman seemed confused as to why there were so many people in the gallery. Daniel laughed and said “sorry, I’m famous,” and then plugged his iHeartRadio channel. Feiler was “clearly annoyed.”

They could sense Daniel was tense and tried to calm him down and make him more comfortable, even getting him to laugh. Daniel lightened the mood by saying they were “served Diet Coke today for lunch,” adding that he asked one of the guards if it had cocaine in it, followed by a goofy, mischievous laugh.

3:00 PM MDT — Daniel’s hearing is scheduled to begin. This is a live information/update feed and there will be no recording or live-stream anywhere as this is federal court.

2:40 PM MDT‍ — Our reporter is inside the courthouse waiting for the hearing with Jeffrey Feiler (Daniel’s attorney) and reportedly a “group of around 5 fans/trolls from Reddit.”

11:28 AM MDT — LarsonLeak reporter is on the scene.
