New concerns are emerging about President Trump’s sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants after a report found that nearly 100 of them have been arrested, charged or convicted of additional crimes since the attack in 2021.
It comes as continuing efforts by Trump and his allies to recast the events of that day have reignited debate over accountability and the rule of law.

A startup backed by Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm just got a $620M loan from the DoD, months after the Pentagon gave a major drone contract to ANOTHER Trump Jr.-backed company.
This is what kleptocracy looks like. https://t.co/fJWk2G7iAx
Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.
BREAKING: EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.
Senator Mark Kelly just completely torched Donald Trump:
"When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head."
Ryan Grim told Piers Morgan that a U.S. push to topple President Maduro “would not be the cakewalk,” its boosters suggest. He said Trump has been open that the real aim is Venezuela’s resources—“oil, in particular”—and argued Washington can’t selectively invoke human rights while ignoring ICC standards elsewhere.
Ryan Grim told Piers Morgan that “Cartel de los Soles’” is “the most obvious CIA-made-up name ever.” If the U.S. wants to find its creators, he said, “pull up GPS and drive to Langley.” Grim explains that Marco Rubio, shut out of Ukraine and Gaza, now sees Venezuela as his “Caribbean sandbox,” pushing long-held Cuban-right fantasies of regime change. Trump knows a Libya-style collapse is the likely outcome, and so far deserves credit for resisting the war hawks.

Mr. President @realdonaldtrump I understand why you are confused...all your time in DC you haven't eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel. I've lived here for 33 years, and it's a flat out lie that half the restaurants have closed because of safety...but restaurants will close because you have troops with guns and federal agents harassing people...making people afraid to go out.
Cities and towns and rural areas of America need policies that allow small business to thrive and all people including immigrants to live and work with dignity. People shouldn't be afraid of their government...government should have respect for its people, not terrorize them.
It’s always so easy to laugh at this, but it’s not funny. For 3hrs today, grown men & women all took turns getting down on their knees, fellating their dear leader. In front of the cameras. It’s sad. It’s gross. It’s North Korea. It shouldn’t happen here.
Donald Trump’s Ukraine policy today is no more coherent than it was last Friday when his administration executed search warrants against my home and office. Collapsing in confusion and haste, Trump’s negotiations may be in their last throes, along with his Nobel Peace Prize campaign.

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.
They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.
Under this regime, no one is safe. https://t.co/lNCUtYJYZ9
“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of is.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.
