Fellows, now out on probation, sees a potential pardon from Trump, stating he’s ready to rebuild his life as the political landscape shifts. "With Trump in office, yeah, I'm starting to plan and [rebuild] my life again," he expressed. Having been sentenced for his role in the Capitol riot, he holds hope that the new administration will alleviate the repercussions from that day and enable a fresh start.
Trump has promised to examine the cases of January 6 defendants, stating, "We're going to look at each individual case, and we're going to do it very quickly, and it's going to start in the first hour that I get into office." He believes many of these individuals, like Fellows, shouldn't have been incarcerated and have faced undue hardship. The notion of pardons emphasizes a significant pivot in how these events may be historically judged.
