Ct. 2191 (2019), where what is now an essential element of the § 922(g) crime was not pled and proved beyond a reasonable doubt at trial. 2. Whether the correct interpretation of Rehaif is that a defendant must know of his possession of a firearm and also that he knew he had the relevant status when he possessed it, or that the defendant must know that he possessed a firearm and that he knew he belonged to the relevant category of persons barred from possessing a firearm. ii
