Justice Dept. Takes Broad View of Trump's Jan. 6 Pardons
Briefly

The case of Jeremy Brown, a former Special Forces soldier sentenced for illegally possessing weapons and classified materials, has taken a significant turn as federal prosecutors linked his charges to the January 6 Capitol attack. Following a presidential clemency proclamation by Donald Trump, which pardoned many individuals charged in the January 6 incident, Brown's conviction may also be wiped out. This stance reflects a broader Justice Department perspective regarding how January 6-related prosecutions could be affected by this clemency, echoing similar sentiments in other cases, such as that of Daniel Edwin Wilson.
Federal prosecutors declared that Jeremy Brown's illegal possession charges were related to the Jan. 6 attack, possibly making him eligible for a presidential clemency that could lead to freedom.
The Justice Department believes that separate criminal cases arising from Jan. 6 should also be covered by President Trump’s sweeping clemency for those charged with Capitol attack-related offenses.
