Trump Issues Multiple Pardons for January 6 Rioters
In a series of recent actions, former President Donald Trump has granted multiple pardons to individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. Notably, he has issued pardons for defendants with various firearms offenses, including for a woman who threatened FBI agents and a militia member. Some individuals have received second pardons for unrelated gun convictions, effectively releasing them from prison. This move has sparked discussions about the implications of such pardons on law enforcement and political accountability.
