Freed members of the far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers have announced plans to sue the Department of Justice over their jailing following the January 6 insurrection. Members of the group held a press conference outside the Capitol Sunday.

Attorney General Pam Bondi's Department of Justice reportedly argued that President Donald Trump's pardon covered grenades and stolen classified information found at the home of Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown,

Prosecutors are siding with some defendants who argue the pardon absolves them of additional offenses, some discovered during investigations of the Capitol riot.

The veteran lawyers who were reassigned include those who prosecuted Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro and leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

Ed Martin, interim U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., has demoted several senior prosecutors, including those handling high-profile cases such as the Oath Keepers trial and a congressional subpoena case against Peter Navarro.

Among those demoted were Kathryn Rakoczy, who secured convictions of several members of the Oath Keepers for their roles in the Jan. 6 riots on Capital Hill.

WASHINGTON — The D.C. Attorney General’s Office (OAG) moved to dismiss a years-old civil case Friday against members of the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and other individuals involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol – saying the city was unlikely to ever recover enough even from a successful verdict to justify expending more resources.

Brown, a retired Green Beret from Tampa, is serving a seven-year sentence for those crimes. But on Tuesday, the Justice Department said he should be immediately released based on President Donald Trump’s mass pardons for people convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers said they're filing lawsuits against the Justice Department over the Jan. 6 prosecutions.
