President Donald Trump’s pardons of people charged over the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol cover cases brought against two men after their homes were searched as part of the Jan. 6 investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said in newly filed court documents.
Daniel Ball, one of the people who were pardoned, was arrested before he could be released on a warrant for being a felon and possessing a gun and ammunition. Attorneys for Ball argued that Trump’s pardons covered the illegal possession charges because they came as a result of a search done as part of the Jan. 6 probe.
