Taranto is the latest Jan. 6 defendant, pardoned by Trump, to face new legal trouble. He drew national headlines when he was arrested in 2023 shortly after livestreaming a threat to blow up the National Institute of Standards and Technology and entered a Maryland elementary school while livestreaming apparent threats to Raskin, a Democrat from the state. He was arrested after authorities found him with weapons in Obama's Kalorama neighborhood a day after Trump posted the address on Truth Social.
