On January 19, President Joe Biden pardoned key members of the House committee that investigated the January 6th Capitol attack, including Adam Schiff and Pete Aguilar. The pardons serve as a shield against potential legal repercussions from potential actions by Donald Trump's second administration. In a statement, Biden emphasized the importance of safeguarding democracy and the integrity of the investigations into the insurrection. Aguilar's spokesperson noted the ongoing threats faced by committee members, while Schiff labeled the pardons as unwise, reflecting a complex political landscape surrounding the accountability of January 6.
We express our gratitude to President Biden for recognizing that we and our families have been continuously targeted not only with harassment, lies, and threats of criminal violence.
American democracy was tested when a mob of insurrectionists attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a fair and free election by force and violence.
