The wrongful death civil trial against 6 Jan terrorists Taylor Taranto and David Walls-Kaufman opened In Washington, DC. Erin Smith, the widow of MPD Officer Jeffrey Smith testified that her husband suffered from a "brain injury" and "severe depression," the result of defending the US Capitol, which caused him to commit suicide nine days later. During the 6 Jan attack on the US Capitol, Walls-Kaufman allegedly struck Officer Smith "specifically and maliciously" in the face with a metal tactical "cane" while his face shield was up. Taranto is accused of giving Walls-Kaufman the weapon. President Trump pardoned the approximate 1,500 convicted assailants who had attacked the US Capitol on 6 Jan 2021; some would go on to commit other crimes. These pardons cost victims and the American taxpayer 1.3bn in restitution payments and fines. Source: drudge.com
