Department of Justice (DOJ) officials said in a new court filing that some people who faced charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol should be reimbursed for the money they paid in restitution.

Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said in an April 8 filing that Stacy Hager, one of those pardoned, is entitled to reimbursement for the $570 he paid under court order.
