House Judiciary Democrats detail crimes committed by Jan. 6 rioters
A House Judiciary Committee report reveals pardoned Jan. 6 rioters reoffended with crimes including assault, kidnapping, and drug trafficking, raising concerns over normalized political violence.
- On Tuesday, House Democrats convened an hours-long forum at the U.S. Capitol on the fifth anniversary to recall the Jan 6, 2021 attack, with panels including elected and former officials evaluating the protests.

- Former Department of Justice prosecutor Brendan Ballou warned that forgetting January 6 risks repeat attacks, while Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., highlighted the long-term threat to democratic norms.
