Capitol Rioter Argues Trump's Pardon Should Also Cover His Conviction for Plot to Murder FBI Agents Who Investigated Him

Edward Kelley, 36, was convicted of of conspiracy to murder federal employees, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, and influencing a federal official by threat after he allegedly created a "kill list" including the FBI agents who had been investigating him for his role in the Capitol riots.
