Morning Briefing: President Donald Trump has pardoned Thomas Caldwell, whose sentence Trump had previously commuted for his convictions related his participation in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Caldwell was on trial with Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy, and federal prosecutors said he “called for civil war ahead of the 2021 Capitol attack and played a key role in the anti-government militia’s planning ahead of the riot.”
Richard Spencer, the White Supremacist who helped organize the Unit the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, has reportedly “lost his bid to reverse the subsequent post-jury trial judgment against him.”
The White Supremacist gunman who killed 23 people in shooting at an El Paso Walmart in 2019 has reportedly “been offered a plea deal to avoid the death penalty,” and the gunman allegedly “believed he was acting at the direction of President Donald Trump,” according to his defense attorney.
