Highlights
  • Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after they filed a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to former President Barack Obama’s house in 2023.
  • Taranto was among roughly 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants President Donald Trump pardoned on the first day of his second term in office.
  • The sentencing memo argued Taranto’s conduct caused an evacuation and required multi-agency responses, underscoring the gravity and deterrence goals of punishment.
