The Justice Department has requested that a federal appeals judge overturn convictions for members of far-right groups, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, who were previously found guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection to the January 6 insurrection. Since returning to office, President Trump has issued pardons and commutations to about 1,600 people who had been charged in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Several leaders with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were granted clemency. Tuesday’s filing by the DOJ would erase the convictions from their records.
