House Judiciary Democrats detail crimes committed by Jan. 6 rioters
Reports reveal Trump pardoned nearly all Jan. 6 defendants, firing 15 DOJ prosecutors and enabling 33 pardoned individuals to face new criminal charges, highlighting ongoing accountability concerns.
- On Monday, House Judiciary Committee Democrats released two reports ahead of the five-year anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, documenting President Donald Trump's pardons and Justice Department actions.
- Rep. Jamie Raskin, committee's ranking member, said the reports allege President Donald Trump pardoned violent criminals, creating `a private militia of proven street fighters` and enabling new crimes.
- Of the roughly 1,583 defendants charged, 608 faced charges for assaulting law enforcement, including roughly 174 charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon, the reports allege.
- The reports show Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington found at least 33 pardoned Jan. 6 defendants charged with new crimes, while many Justice Department prosecutors struggled to find private-sector jobs.
- The reports also show that attorney Ed Martin moved into Justice Department roles while a federally required plaque honoring officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 remains in storage inside the Capitol.
