DOJ Asks Judge to Rejail Jan. 6 Rioter Pardoned by Trump, After Threats to Rep. Jamie Raskin

HeadlineDec 05, 2025

The Justice Department has asked a judge to rejail a participant in the January 6 insurrection who had been pardoned by President Trump. The Justice Department made the request after the man, Taylor Taranto, showed up near the home of Democratic Congressmember Jamie Raskin, who served on the January 6 House Select Committee. Security has been increased for Raskin. In October, Taranto was sentenced to time served for making a threat near the home of former President Obama.
