The Justice Department has convicted more than 1,000 Jan. 6 rioters. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves says the crimes that occurred that day are likely some of the most recorded in history.
More than 1,000 Americans have been convicted in the January 6 th, 2021 attack on the Capitol. About 350 trials are still pending and the FBI continues its dragnet for suspects. The attack that stopped the count of the presidential vote triggered the largest prosecution in U.S. history. But now, history is being challenged. Former President Donald Trump calls the convicted, 'patriots' worthy of pardons. What is the evidence? We begin with the prosecutor in charge. U.S.
One, a militia leader, got 22 years, the longest sentence of all. All of the trials have been in open court in Washington before judges or juries, the defendant's choice. but more than 900 — 80% — have pleaded guilty.Matthew Graves: And we've seen defendants in January 6th take full advantage of all the protections afforded under the constitution. To me, that's the picture of due process.But 'due process' is not the picture painted at Trump rallies, including this last March.
