"Taranto was among the 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants President Donald Trump pardoned in January but he faced separate firearms and false information charges stemming from his 2023 arrest near the home of former President Barack Obama.

Taranto, who was found with illegal guns and ammunition near Obama's house, was convicted of those charges in May. In their memo Tuesday, Valdivia and White, asked a judge to sentence Taranto to 27 months in prison.

Laying out the factual background of their request, Valdivia and White told the court Taranto participated in the Jan. 6 attack and subsequently spread conspiracy theories about it.

"On January 6, 2021, thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol while a joint session of Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election," they wrote. "Taranto was accused of participating in the riot in Washington, D.C., by entering the U.S. Capitol Building."
