Thousands of Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol after he lost the 2020 presidential election. Four years later, some of them are allowed to return to the nation's capital so they can celebrate Trump's return to the White House.

On the last day of federal court before Donald Trump takes office, the judge who presided over the president-elect’s now-dismissed criminal January 6, 2021, case told a defendant who admitted to disorderly conduct that day that he may be the last US Capitol rioter she’ll sentence.

Marissa A. Suarez, a former corrections officer at the Monmouth County Jail who entered the Capitol building on Jan. 6, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and was sentenced in July 2022 to 36 months of probation.

A federal judge in Washington on Friday sentenced Kellye SoRelle, a top lawyer for the Oath Keepers militia group, to 12 months in prison for her involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

As President, he would have the legal authority to pardon any or all of those charged, at whatever stage their cases are.”

A total of 13 Connecticut residents were arrested in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and some of them may receive a pardon when Donald Trump takes office.
