The Department of Justice has suspended two federal prosecutors after they referred in court documents to the January 6 insurrection as carried out by a “mob of rioters.” The prosecutors, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, had filed a sentencing memo against January 6 rioter Taylor Taranto, who was pardoned by President Trump on the first day of his second term in office. The two prosecutors were seeking 27 months in prison for Taranto for bringing guns and illegal ammunition to Barack Obama’s home in 2023, after Trump posted Obama’s Washington address to social media. By Wednesday afternoon, the sentencing document was removed and replaced with another document without references to January 6, Trump’s social media post and the two prosecutors.
