The aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach continues to unfold for over 1,500 criminal defendants granted clemency by former President Donald Trump. Some prosecutors are now exploring the possibility of pursuing state or local charges against individuals, particularly those accused of violent crimes.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has hinted at the potential for bringing state election- or conspiracy-related charges against Pennsylvania residents who received pardons or commutations during Trump's presidency. This includes individuals involved in serious offenses such as seditious conspiracy and assaulting law enforcement officers.
