A Texas woman was sentenced to prison on Friday after she pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges related to her conduct during the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. Her actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.

The Jan. 6 defendants who received clemency included those convicted of violent and serious crimes, including assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy. Mr. Trump also ordered the attorney general to dismiss all pending indictments related to the Capitol riot.

Trump has repeatedly referred to convicted criminals of both violent and nonviolent offenses related to Jan. 6 as “hostages.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The former leader of the Proud Boys and the founder of the Oath Keepers have been released from prison after their lengthy sentences for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol were wiped away by a sweeping order from President Donald Trump benefiting more than 1,500 defendants.

Rhodes, the founder and leader of the national extremist and militia group Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison on May 25, 2023. He was convicted of seditious conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release.

Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, and Enrique Tarrio, former leader of the Proud Boys, have been released from prison after their lengthy sentences for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.

President Biden in 2022 announced Admiral Linda Fagan as the new commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard making her the first woman to lead a branch of the U.S. military. President Trump's administration has now fired Fagan.

The leaders of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers were both freed from long sentences by President Donald Trump. Who are they? And what are their groups?

Stewart Rhodes was convicted in one of the most serious cases brought by the Justice Department over the Jan. 6, 2021 attack.
