Trump Admin Seeks to Vacate Jan. 6 Seditious Conspiracy Convictions

The Trump administration has initiated a process to vacate the seditious conspiracy convictions of extremists who participated in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. This action follows earlier decisions where these individuals were granted commutations, which served to reduce their sentences without fully pardoning them or erasing the convictions from their records. The current move seeks to go further by vacating the convictions entirely. This development pertains specifically to those found guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection with the events of January 6th.
