The Department of Justice has broadened the interpretation of President Trump's pardons for those involved in the Jan. 6 riot, now including related gun charges. This development arises from FBI investigations that uncovered additional criminal activities linked to defendants. Recent filings indicate that the DOJ seeks to dismiss federal gun charges against former defendants, recognizing that Trump's pardon order encompasses these offenses. This marks a notable shift, suggesting that legal implications of the pardons may be more extensive than previously understood.
This week's legal filings represent a more expansive understanding of Trump's Jan. 6 pardons than was initially clear, including related gun charges.
The Department of Justice has concluded that Trump's pardon order extended to defendants, including Elias Costianes, who faced gun and drug charges.
