Expect Cole's lawyer to argue the presidential pardon applies to his client.
Former January 6th prosecutor Mike Gordon says if he were Brian Cole Jr.'s defense attorney, he would argue that Trump's broad Jan. 6 pardons should apply to Cole. Gordon explains that the pardon language is expansive and could cover crimes like Cole's case.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation.
Acting pursuant to the grant of authority in Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution of the United States, I do hereby: grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The man authorities say is responsible for placing two pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol complex in 2021 told investigators he believed conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen from then-President Trump, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
