Gregory Purdy, speaking from his Washington jail cell to Sky's James Matthews, says he believes the incoming president will 'exonerate and pardon' him.
A man convicted of participating in the January 6 Capitol riots has told Sky News he expects Donald Trump to set him free. Speaking from his Washington jail cell, Gregory Purdy said he anticipates the president-elect will 'exonerate and pardon' him. Mr Trump has said he intends to pardon 'many' of the rioters whom he describes as 'hostages'.
Prosecutors said the Texan father-of-three, a member of the 'Three Percenters' anti-government militia, 'lit the match' of an insurrection. The court heard he was armed with a handgun at the Capitol and had an automatic rifle in his car. His son, Jackson, had reported concerns about his father to the FBI in the weeks before January 6.
