Former President Donald Trump has issued a new pardon to militia member Dan Wilson, who was connected to the January sixth Capitol riot. This pardon addresses firearms offenses in Kentucky not covered by his earlier pardon, freeing Wilson from those charges. The gun charges were linked to the broader January sixth investigation, as authorities discovered unauthorized firearms during the investigation into his actions on that day. The U.S. pardon attorney, Ed Martin, advocated for this new pardon, which was granted on Friday, making Wilson a free man. This pardon follows Trumps previous clemency for over one thousand individuals involved in the January sixth events, highlighting ongoing legal and political discussions surrounding the Capitol riot and presidential clemency.
