DOJ Moves to Vacate Jan 6 Convictions

Prosecutors filed motions to vacate the convictions of high-profile figures like Stewart Rhodes, effectively undoing some of the most significant legal victories from the previous administration.

The filing argues that these groups were acting on behalf of the president, a position that makes defending the original charges legally untenable under current policy.

While many involved had already received pardons or commutations, this action seeks to permanently dismiss the underlying indictments.

Critics and some former prosecutors have blasted the move as a historic act of corruption that undermines the rule of law.
