President Donald Trump’s top prosecutor in Washington, D.C., has asked a court to throw out the convictions for several members of extremist groups that led the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
On his first day back in office, Trump pardoned more than 1,500 Capitol rioters, which effectively wiped out about 1,270 convictions and ended criminal proceedings against the remaining defendants.
Trump also commuted the sentences of 14 people found guilty of organizing and leading the attack, including former members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, which freed them from prison but meant they were still classified as felons.
