It reports on David Daniel, a participant in the January 6 Capitol riot who was pardoned by President Donald Trump, now pleading guilty to federal charges involving the sexual exploitation of minors and possession of child sexual abuse material. The article highlights how the pardon did not cover these separate child exploitation crimes, and notes broader concerns about other pardoned rioters facing serious unrelated criminal convictions, underscoring judicial distinctions between Jan. 6-related conduct and unrelated felonies.
