President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned Thomas Caldwell, a retired Navy intelligence officer who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Trump previously commuted Caldwell’s sentence on his first day in office when he issued mass clemency for at least 1,583 defendants charged for their actions during the riot.
In early January, Caldwell, a Berryville, Virginia, resident, was acquitted by a jury of seditious conspiracy and two other conspiracy offenses but was sentenced to 53 days in jail and fined $100.
