Jan 6th Pardonee Rejects Trump’s Clemency
President Trump issued over 1,500 pardons, including one to Pamela Hemphill, a participant in the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Unlike other recipients, Hemphill, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge, is actively rejecting her pardon, citing its contribution to a false narrative surrounding the event. She has enlisted the help of her senator to formally refuse the pardon and prevent its use in legal proceedings. This unique action contrasts sharply with other January 6th defendants who have actively sought and utilized their pardons.
