Trump administration reaches settlement with family of Ashli Babbitt, rioter killed on Jan. 6, 2021 excerpt: Hours after he was inaugurated, the president issued a blanket pardon for more than 1,500 Capitol riot defendants. The Justice Department has fired prosecutors who handled the Jan. 6 cases.

"The goal here is to rewrite the history of Jan. 6," Ballou said. "There are enormous number of politicians whose whole careers now depend on that day being forgotten because if it's remembered, people will realize they are supporting a president that tried to incite an insurrection and overthrow the peaceful democratic transfer of power. And so there's a concerted effort by these folks to make sure that that history is forgotten, and firing those prosecutors is part of that effort."
