"If approved by the federal courts, the move would wipe out those convictions and among other things, restore the defendants' right to own guns."
"Hearing from J6rs and families tonight. They feel respected even loved. Proud. But there is more for you to do. Keep grinding."
"The decision illustrates both the dramatic extent of changes at the Department of Justice in Trump's second term as well as the stunning reversal of fortunes for the Jan. 6 defendants."
The Department of Justice has filed to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions against members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers linked to the January 6 Capitol attack. This move could restore their rights, including gun ownership. The Trump administration supports this decision, framing it as 'in the interests of justice.' Members of the extremist groups expressed joy over the potential legal changes. The situation reflects significant shifts in the Department of Justice under Trump, contrasting with the Biden administration's approach to the January 6 events.
