"Suzanne Ellen Kaye, of Florida, was released last year after serving an 18-month sentence. After the FBI contacted her in 2021 about a tip indicating she may have been at the Capitol on January 6, she posted a video on social media citing her right under the US Constitution's Second Amendment to carry a gun, and threatened to shoot agents if they came to her house."
"With a stroke of his pen and within hours of being sworn in for his second term in January of this year, Trump upended the largest prosecution in the history of the US Department of Justice. He freed from prison people caught on camera viciously attacking police as well as leaders of far-right groups convicted of orchestrating violent plots to stop the peaceful transfer of power after Trump's 2020 election loss."
Donald Trump issued pardons for Suzanne Ellen Kaye and Daniel Edwin Wilson related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol investigation. Kaye was convicted for threatening to shoot FBI agents after an FBI contact about a tip and posted a video invoking the Second Amendment; she served an 18-month sentence and testified she did not own guns or intend to threaten agents. Wilson was convicted of conspiring to impede or injure police officers and illegally possessing firearms and remained jailed because of the separate firearms conviction despite broad clemency for other rioters. The January 6 investigation produced charges against more than 1,500 defendants.
