A Tennessee man pardoned by President Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for plotting to assassinate federal agents and attack an FBI office with explosives.
A federal judge ruled Monday that former President Donald Trump’s sweeping pardons for Jan. 6 rioters do not extend to the separate crimes of one participant who plotted to kill law enforcement officers investigating him.
Two Tennessee men have been charged with conspiring to murder FBI agents, and they face up to life in prison if convicted.
