At least 97 of the more than 1,500 individuals granted clemency by President Trump for their roles in the January 6 Capitol attack have been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of crimes separate from Jan. 6 since their participation in the Jan. 6 riot. A Lawfare study reveals that almost one in 16 insurrectionists subject to the president's clemency order has been arrested for and charged with"and in the vast majority of cases convicted of"other crimes, at least some of which were actively enabled by the clemency actions. At least 14, meanwhile, have been charged with sex crimes or crimes related to child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and at least six have faced domestic violence charges. Others have faced charges for physical assaults, illegal firearms possession, or other violent crimes.
