Dan Wilson, a Kentucky man who was indicted and later pardoned for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, received a second pardon Friday for unrelated felony gun charges, with his attorney celebrating President Donald Trump for his latest "act of mercy." "Dan Wilson is a good man. After more than 7 months of unjustified imprisonment, he is relieved to be home with his loved ones," said Wilson's attorneys George Pallas and Carol Taylor in a statement to Politico, the outlet reported Saturday. "This act of mercy not only restores his freedom but also shines a light on the overreach that has divided this nation." Wilson was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to a felony conspiracy charge for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and was ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution. Investigators also found Wilson to be affiliated with several right-wing militias, including the Gray Ghost Partisan Rangers and the Oath Keepers.
